Teaching
My approach to teaching combines both theory and student-centred learning. I communicate in clear terms that relate theories and research findings to real situations and the role and power of students themselves. I provide a full list of units that I teach, and readings, resources and slides for current students
My teaching experience includes:
- design and delivery of 10 unit module on 'Managing Stakeholder Relations' for University of Nottingham's MA in CSR
- unit on business ethics at University of Nottingham's MBA in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
- design of MBA half Module 'Organisations in Context' for University of Bath
- guest lectures at University of Geneva, AUT and Haute Ecole de Commerce.
I supervise a PhD student at AUT, focusing on business-government relations, and advise other doctoral students at AUT and Nottingham. I particularly enjoy supervising PhD students, given my interest in how our values and aspirations influence our methodology and our orientation to and use of theory.
I have spoken on sustainable development and the relations between business and civil society at conferences around the world, including: Waikato University, New Zealand, 2004; Academy of Management, Denver, 2002, Seattle, 2003; Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, 2001; Global Responsibility Founding Forum, Monaco, 2000; FUNDE 'Innovacion Tecnologica y Agricultura Conferencia', San Salvador, 1999; Royal Institute for International Affairs (Chatham House) 2000; IOEU, Hannover, June 1999; International Society for Third Sector Research (ISTR) Conference, Geneva, 1998, Dublin 2000; Peoples Summit, Birmingham, May 1998; UNRISD, Costa Rica, 1997, Geneva, 2004.
