      ab: The article critically reviews the book "Interrupting Innovation: Centring the Social," edited by Melanie Panitch, Samantha Wehbi, and Jessica Pimentel Machado, which focuses on social innovation through a specific program run by Toronto Metropolitan University. The review highlights a lack of empirical evidence supporting the book's claims of participant benefits and innovation, suggesting that the text reads more like a course material than a scholarly work. It notes that while the book discusses various projects involving art, it fails to adequately define social innovation or address the challenges faced in these initiatives. The reviewer expresses concern over the book's reliance on vague claims of success and its limited engagement with broader social innovation literature.
