How is what we teach/model about business and the economy shaped by the history of colonization? What other perspectives exist?
This recent AACSB insight raises provocative questions worth considering.
"As more business schools strive to become diverse and inclusive, they should consider the very sources of knowledge they teach in their classrooms.
- Business schools in Western and European countries have benefited from an imperialism that placed their ideologies in a powerful and privileged position.
- To decolonize the curriculum, schools must do more than diversify the reading list; they must incorporate the knowledge and educational approaches of scholars from different philosophical and cultural backgrounds.
- By doing this, we will open our field to greater diversity and wider analysis, which will strengthen the discipline as a whole."
