The aim of this thesis is to examine the theoretical developments on social entrepreneurship. Our purpose is to create a better understanding of the phenomenon leading to new insights. We have categorized the knowledge of the concept into social economy, social ownership, social innovation and social missions. Drawing from our theoretical review we have chosen four empirical illustrations, Grameen Bank, Wikipedia, Basta Arbetskooperativ, Jörn HÀlsogemenskap, and we have shown how these fit into the general description of the social entrepreneur. With help of our illustrations we show that it is complicated to pin point the core of social entrepreneurship as they each have separate structures, innovations, social missions and operate close to different sectors.

Trots politiska reformer Àr arbetarklassen fortfarande underrepresenterad.Syfte: Syftet har varit att beskriva och förklara hur individer med arbetarklassbakgrund upplever sitt val, möte och eventuella reproduktion av högre studier. Vidare har det varit att se om de har gemensamma erfarenheter med andra i samma situation, om de har upplevt svÄrigheter eller fördelar i mötet med utbildning som kan hÀrledas ur deras klassbakgrund.Uppsatsens utgÄngspunkter och undersökningens upplÀggning: Jag har utgÄtt frÄn att individer med arbetarklassbakgrund, som minoritet pÄ högre utbildning Àr med om upplevelser som grundas i deras sociala bakgrund. DÀrför har jag valt att samla in mitt empiriska material genom att göra intervjuer med tre individer ur arbetarklassen som valt att lÀsa vidare. Det empiriska materialet har tolkats med hjÀlp av teorier av Pierre Bourdieu, Thomas Ziehe och en del forskning kring klassresenÀrer, frÀmst Mats Trondman.Slutsatser/resultat: Jag har funnit en del faktorer i den sociala bakgrunden som överensstÀmmer samt skiljer sig mot vad tidigare forskning kring klassresor diskuterat.
