Abstract

The seismic effects of COVID-19, Black Lives Matter and Brexit have exposed endemic racial inequalities in the UK. Policy responses are mixed, but encouraging entrepreneurship amongst ethnic minority communities is likely to form part of the solution. For 16 years, the Centre for Research in Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship (CREME) has operated at the intersection of debates on inequality and enterprise, and worked with practitioners to 'make a difference'. CREME's modus operandi is to promote change with practitioners whilst pursuing theoretically informed research. This chapter presents insights from the many shades of engagement that characterise CREME's work - from stakeholder consultation on conventional research projects to the creation of new ventures to support migrant businesses. We identify lessons from these mechanisms of engagement for practitioners and academics seeking to make a practical difference in politically sensitive contexts.
