Abstract

The increasing complexity of global challenges such as poverty, climate change, and inequality has pushed marginalized communities to seek innovative solutions through entrepreneurship. Creative technologies like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mobile applications offer novel opportunities for socio-preneurship, enabling entrepreneurs to develop solutions that promote social, environmental, and economic sustainability. This study explores how creative technologies serve as a catalyst for socio-preneurship by examining the experiences of entrepreneurs in underserved regions who have integrated these technologies into their business models. The research aims to understand how these technologies empower entrepreneurs to overcome systemic barriers and create scalable solutions to global challenges. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, combining qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys to gather insights from 20 entrepreneurs across diverse sectors, including education, healthcare, and agriculture. The findings suggest that creative technology enhances business performance, expands market access, and strengthens community ties. Moreover, social capital was identified as a crucial factor in amplifying the impact of technology adoption. The study concludes that creative technology is essential for inclusive socio-preneurship, offering a pathway to address global challenges while fostering local economic and social development. Policy recommendations include supporting technological infrastructure and social networks for marginalized entrepreneurs to ensure sustainable growth.

Abstract

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly disrupted global education systems, forcing teachers to adapt to remote instruction, shifting expectations, and heightened emotional demands. Urban educators, in particular, faced layered challenges including technological inequity, socio-emotional strain, and intensified community needs. Purpose. This study explores how urban teachers experienced and responded to the crisis by analyzing their personal narratives of teaching during the pandemic. Method. Using a qualitative narrative analysis approach, the study collected data from 26 K–12 educators in three major metropolitan districts in the United States. Participants submitted reflective essays and engaged in semi-structured interviews between June and October 2021. Results. The findings reveal recurring themes of professional identity redefinition, emotional exhaustion, pedagogical innovation, and relational resilience. Teachers described a tension between systemic inadequacies and personal commitment, often framing their roles as both educators and emotional caregivers. Despite institutional constraints, many developed adaptive strategies that centered student well-being and equity. Conclusion. The study concludes that narrative inquiry provides essential insight into the lived complexities of teaching during crisis and underscores the need for systemic support structures that honor teachers’ emotional labor and professional agency.
