Ms Claire Street

I graduated with a BA in Fine Arts and joined Christ Church Business School in 2018. I am currently in the final stages of my PhD; my thesis is on Female Refugee Entrepreneurs.

My academic interests lie in entrepreneurship and refugee studies. My research is underpinned by Feminist Poststructuralism and is geared towards transformative social change. I teach Taxation and New Venture Creation on the Management and Organisation undergraduate programme and Business Planning on the MBA and MSc International Business programmes at Christ Church Business School.

I am currently Course Director MBA International and lecturer in Global Business. I teach Taxation and New Venture Creation as well as Business Planning.

My academic interests lie in entrepreneurship. I draw from anthropology, entrepreneurship theory and refugee studies. My research is underpinned by Feminist Poststructuralism and is geared towards transformative social change.
