Integrating Social Enterprise into a Social Science Curriculum

Social Enterprise has long been associated with social science disciplines and traditionally is intrinsically linked with business studies and economics. There has been little attention paid to the ways in which social enterprise can be integrated into other social science subject areas. The authors of this chapter explore the practices of social enterprise and how it can be encapsulated into other social science subjects, namely: behavioural sciences, criminology, geography, sociology, and psychology. The authors of this chapter provide a contemporary illustration of the ways in which social enterprise can be used as a best practice model in the university sector.
