Dr. Stephanie Raible is an Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship at the University of Delaware’s (UD) Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics, with a joint appointment in the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration. Her research examines the everyday, often-overlooked forms of entrepreneurial activity shaped by communities, social purpose, sustainability, and the creative arts. Through this work, she surfaces the lived experiences that dominant entrepreneurial narratives obscure and analyzes how identity, education, intention, and stereotypes influence how individuals make sense of and engage in entrepreneurial life.

Her commitment to globally engaged, inclusive entrepreneurship education extends beyond UD. Dr. Raible serves as external faculty at Management Center Innsbruck (Austria) and at Escola Superior Artística do Porto (Portugal) through its partnership with Critical Concrete, where she contributes to international, practice-based learning environments. She is also contributing as a Fulbright Specialist in 2026, with project details forthcoming. At UD, she previously served as Faculty Director of the Social Entrepreneurship Initiative, strengthening its nationally recognized curricular and co-curricular programs and expanding global learning opportunities through study abroad initiatives in Thailand, Germany, and England. She also develops student-centered learning materials and cases that portray everyday entrepreneurs as real and relatable, broadening who feels invited and equipped to participate in entrepreneurial activity.

Dr. Raible’s scholarship and educational leadership have been recognized at university, national, and international levels. She was named a U.S. Fulbright Scholar (Austria), selected as one of Poets & Quants’ Top 50 Undergraduate Business Professors, and received the University of Delaware’s Excellence in Teaching Award, the institution’s highest teaching honor. She co-authored Social Entrepreneurship: A Practice-Based Approach to Social Innovation and has served on the editorial boards of the Case Research Journal, Journal of Developmental Entrepreneurship, and the Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development. Her work has also been honored by the International Council for Small Business, the U.S. Association for Small Business & Entrepreneurship, the Deshpande Symposium, the Delaware Business Times, and the North American Case Research Association.
