I teach the Cass Business School undergraduate class Business & Society, which is becoming part of the core curriculum for our undergraduate students starting in 2020. This class is based on the fundamentals of critical thinking, and engages students in considering grand challenges such as climate change, diversity and equality, giving them the ethical decision making and stakeholder perspective tools for approaching these complex issues.
I also teach undergraduate classes in Critical Thinking and guest lecture on the Introduction to Management core class.
Curriculum Development
Prior to pursuing my PhD, I worked for two years developing teaching cases in collaboration with faculty for use in the MBA courses at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. During this time I assisted in writing 18 published pedagogical tools, including one that won an international case writing award:
- “Coke in the Cross Hairs: Water, India, and the University of Michigan” by
Andrew Hoffman, Grace Augustine, and Sarah Howie
First Place, Oikos Case Competition Corporate Sustainability Track, 2011
During my PhD at the Kellogg School of Management, I continued to develop case studies on sustainability and corporate social responsibility, including:
- “HP: Imprinting the Global Health Sector,” by Jamie Jones and Grace Augustine, Kellogg School of Management Cases, 2015
- “Innovation at One Acre Fund: Seeing the Forest for the Trees,” by Jamie Jones and Grace Augustine, Kellogg School of Management Cases, 2014
