Courses

I teach courses in management, and some of these are cross-listed as environmental studies courses. My classes examine the roles of business in addressing sustainability challenges. In my courses, I never tell students what to think. My goal is always to help people develop and articulate their own positions on an issue, while also learning skills to be effective problem solvers. My classes are not aimed at converting people to my way of thinking but rather at developing critically-thinking, articulate, and active citizens. Effective communication, written or verbal, is a focus of my courses. You've got to be able to clearly articulate your perspective on both sustainability and business issues in order to be heard, and you have to communicate effectively in order to get folks over to your way of thinking. As such my classes draw on ideas from environmental history, science and technology studies, business, finance, and management.  I teach the following courses at Rowan University:

• MGT 06381 Sustainable Business (undergraduate)

• MGT 06402 Business Policy (undergraduate)

• MGT 06567 Responsible Leadership: Aligning the Interests of Stakeholders, Profit, and Planet (graduate)

• MGT 06530 / ENST 94501 Sustainable Commerce (graduate)

• MGT 06531 / ENST 94502 Sustainability Assessment (graduate)

• MGT 06532 / ENST 94504 Topics in Sustainability Innovation and Problem-Solving (graduate)

• occasionally, I lead a study abroad experience in Denmark, focused on Sustainable Business

I have also been fortunate to serve as a summer guest lecturer at Aarhus University, where I teach “Leading with Nature: Biodiversity and Nature-Based Strategies for Business”
