SCHOLARLY

ACHIEVEMENTS

ECONOMIC AND ENTREPRENEURIAL CAPACITY INSTITUTIONAL THEORY AND CHANGE PROCESSES DESIGN CULTURE AND COLLECTIVE IDEATION Dr. Edgell’s scholarship agenda expands upon his deep commitment to exploring the intersections among economics, human behavior, the humanities, art, and design. He currently researches institutional change processes, design culture, collective ideation techniques, and entrepreneurial capacity development. He has collaborated with scholars from Temple University, Stanford University, and other institutions. He has published several scholarly research articles and presented multiple conference papers. Several research projects have been featured on National Public Radio’s Academic Minute. Recently he was a co-PI recipient, along with Dr. Daryl Lee, of a prestigious $100,000 National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), Humanities Connections grant (9.5% acceptance rate) for Reimagining Entrepreneurship: An Integrated Pathway for Creative and Ethical Venturing. In addition, NYSTEC recently donated $25,000 for supporting his entrepreneurial Initiatives and related research at the College of Business Management. Shortly after arriving at SUNY Poly, he launched an integrated community-based experiential learning, research, and service program that brings InnovationChallenge New York (ICNY) events to the Upstate New York region. Since then, he has organized a total of seven ICNY iterations with varied topics, students, and locations. In October of 2017, he presented his co-authored empirical quantitative research paper, Reimagining entrepreneurship: Design culture exposure as a positive mediator for entrepreneurial capacity, at the International Atlantic Economics Society’s Montreal Conference (paper accepted for publication). He was awarded the “Campus Connector” designation by Upstate Venture Ecosystems Awards in 2016. Recently during August of 2018, he was again nominated by Upstate Venture Connect as a Campus Connector. Lastly, Dr. Edgell and the NEH grant team through the new Joint Center for Creativity, Design, and Venturing (JCCDV) are currently planning the first-ever “Visioneers and Venturers” scholarly conference and publication scheduled for May 2020. Dr. Edgell and Dr. Lee’s NEH grant project work was featured in an AAC&U panel for Spring 2019. In 2017, the SUNY System awarded Dr. Edgell and Dr. Lee a $40,000 Performance Improvement Funds (PIF) grant to support the JCCDV’s development and activities. He has earned the Social Sciences Research Network (SSRN) top 10% of Authors designation based on total new downloads.
