"Hi! My name is pk mutch (call me pk). I am a Canadian, award-winning intersectional, trans-inclusive, feminist/social 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 advisory perspectives and research services and produce sub-alt entrepreneurship content, courses, workshops, and talks for values-aligned and curious clients.

 

In my solo work, I advocate for aligning government entrepreneurship and innovation policy, spending and programs with life-affirming, 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 our new U.S. Trump Administration-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, teaching and researching socialist and post-human 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!)
