This week James and Luke were in Moorgate as panelists for 'The Gaze', organised by Middlesex University in collaboration with Small Business Research + Enterprise Centre and the HOMELandS Research Centre at the University of Westminster. They were there to discuss the often-hidden lives of immigrant food entrepreneurs in London. Through oral histories, memories and everyday business, the event explores how entrepreneurship becomes more than a means of survival. It is a way to build belonging, community, and city’s cultural and economic fabrics.
The event was chaired by Dr. Rui Su, Senior Lecturer in Tourism and Middlesex Universiy.
Panelists:
Abdul Komor, Street Trading Service Manager, London Borough of Waltham Forest.
Baron Deschauer, Market Manager, Tooting Market.
So Mang Ham, Founder of the SoJu
