The class will focus on the evaluation of the doctoral thesis Crowds, Coins and Communities Digital Entrepreneuring in Emerging Financial Infrastructures, written by Claire Ingram Bogusz.

Read the doctoral thesis and be prepared to discuss the content.

We will divide the discussion into four parts (focus areas):

Introduction, problem statement, positioning, argumentation for relevance, and literature review.
Theoretical framing, selection of references, and research method.
Empirical work and analysis.
Overall contribution of thesis: theoretical and practical implications, the “red thread”, and connection between introductory and concluding chapters.

All participants should be prepared to present, discuss and compare their reflections based on the SISA criteria (Goldkuhl, 2013) (Hand in 4, before Class 3).
