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. I feel that no perspectives should be barred in our attempts to solve sustainability problems.  In my classes students must confront ideas about sustainability, business, and the human-environment relationship that they may find challenging or surprising. 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 regularly teach the following courses at Rowan University:
