"Hi! My name is pk mutch (call me pk). I am a Canadian, award-winning feminist, democratic socialist entrepreneur, independent creator, activist, writer, and university educator teaching advanced entrepreneurship and occasionally related Master's-level courses in innovation at the Lang School of Business at the University of Guelph. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. My research is about understanding the feminist economy and feminist entrepreneurship as part of this economy in Canada. 

 

  As an educator, creator, and entrepreneur, my Highwire Collective colleagues and I offer fresh  perspectives on the role of entrepreneurship in the making and unmaking of systems and societies. We work with organizations that support diverse entrepreneurs, which many funders and government policies overlook or overlook. We also design and offer provocative and subculture entrepreneurship content, courses, workshops, and talks for bold and curious clients.

 

In my solo work, I advocate for aligning government entrepreneurship and innovation policy, spending and programs with true needs of the self-employed and micro entrepreneurs, plus growing swell of post-capitalist and social justice dreams. I research and connect increasingly with what's happening in Europe, the UK, the Pacific and Africa for more relevant inspiration than ever in a U.S. Trump Administration/MAGA-centred global reality. 

​

 You can find me in diverse ideologically/socially/economically/politically marginalized spaces because that's where my people are. It's also where the debates, conversations and ideas we need today emerge. I don't just think theory; I also do. My businesses and projects allow me to experiment, put theory into practice, and see what works and what doesn't. I show up for calls to action, marches and talk to people in the streets. 

 

I don't work alone. I have many teachers, past and present. I am engaged with dozens of thought leaders, allied communities and movement groups. My sense-making methodology centres on forging authentic relationships with grassroots enterprises and international groups, reading books, teaching and researching socialist and transformative feminisms and exploring post-growth visions of utopia through sci-fi lit. My approach is grounded in love, imagination, hope, generosity, pleasure and joy.

(Plus a little weirdness!)
