Professor Bronwen Morgan's 'Between Social Activism and Social Enterprise' project at University of New South Wales Law School. We research topics of sharing economy ownership and control, legal and organisational form of sustainability focused enterprises, risk, harm and insurance to social enterprises and other issues with sharing at a smaller scale to AirBnB, Uber, Lyft and other large-scale sharing initiatives that have an extractive/rental focus.
