The Faculty of Business invites members of the campus community--students, faculty and staff--to attend a virtual lecture (teaching demonstration) by Kanwal Bokhari  for a tenure-track position at the assistant professor level with a focus on entrepreneurship.

Candidate Bio:

Kanwal Bokhari is a doctoral candidate in the business administration program at the Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary. She studies how entrepreneurs acquire resources from early-stage investors, such as business angels and venture capitalists, who rely upon signals (i.e., readily available crude pieces of information) to make investment decisions. Deploying the Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) method, she explores questions to illuminate the complexity of the resource acquisition process and challenges entrepreneurs and investors face amidst entrepreneurial uncertainty and information asymmetry.

She also teaches courses in entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial finance at the graduate and undergraduate levels at the Haskayne School of Business and serves as the academic lead for the Financial Feminism Investing Lab, an investment education program with a gender-informed lens. Prior to pursuing doctoral studies, she worked in investment banking, private equity, and non-profit management.   

The lecture will take place on Friday, March 4, from 11 am-12 pm (Atlantic Time) via the following Zoom link:
