Educating Heroic Chief Executives: Integrating Legal Studies and Social Change
Brown, Liz
Journal of Legal Studies Education, v39 n1 p5-38 Win 2022
This article explains how to build an interdisciplinary course about global problem-solving that is anchored in business law yet draws substantially from many other fields. In 2020, Liz Brown developed and led a teaching team composed of fourteen faculty members and learning center leaders from across Bentley University to deliver a pilot course called "Heroes and CEOs." The core purpose of "Heroes and CEOs" is to educate future business leaders about how to solve critical global and local problems more effectively by taking a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to them. "Heroes and CEOs" is a multidisciplinary course that introduces students to the ways in which synthesizing different fields of study can contribute to more effective sustainability solutions, enabling students to become more creative and inclusive problem solvers. The course supports student learning about the importance of interdisciplinary collaborations in the effort to address sustainability challenges.
