I am currently attached to the project 'Cultivating Women Tech Founders: A Communities-of-Practice Approach to Entrepreneurial Education in Danish University Incubators'.
Together with Assistant Professor Shuang L. Frost (AU), we explore the ecosystem of tech entrepreneurship for women in Denmark. I apply persepctives from education, political economy, and performance studies.
My broader research has looked at social entrepreneurship, gender studies and theatre. I defended my PhD on 'Re-imagining Money in Feminist Political Economy' in 2023, and I have recently published on workplace innovation (2023), vulnerability in monetary theory (2022), social return on investment (2021), and disability arts (2020).
As a Dramaturg, I have worked in text-based theatre and dance with artists in the UK, Denmark and Canada. My work has largely involved encouraging artists to reflect on the social and political dimensions to their work, as well as framing performance in terms of its sensory hierarchies.

Thesis Chapters by Kai R Green
The set of interdisciplinary research papers concerning feminism, money and social innovation are then brought to bear on some crosscutting objectives for the development of critical theory and socio-economic change. The first objective provides a framework for the role of money in theories of feminist political economy – both as an object of critique and as a space for the proposition of alternatives – concerning language, power, and sexuality. The second objective explores how contemporary developments in intellectual culture (briefly summed up as “postmodern” conditions) affect the epistemological underpinnings of economics in a manner that makes it difficult for money to be re-imagined, at this current time in the West. The third objective is to experiment with different ways of imagining what the ‘innovative development’ of feminist monies might look like – in other words, to let feminist theories permeate the very systems of excavation and measurement that we use to assess alternative monies.
Ultimately, I situate the problem for feminist monetary development in the crux of challenges set by the “abstraction” and “monoculture” of contemporary currency relations. The thesis argues for embracing a post-structural account of money as intertwined with language. I argue that the symbolic biases of these systems can be worked against through the use of different semiotic models, including feminist aesthetics and translation, and through making post-modern amendments to the theory of social innovation. The thesis closes with discussing contributions to the research fields of feminist political economy, monetary sociology and social innovation.
