Abstract

Sustainability has become a popular teaching topic in business schools around the world. Yet, there has been very little mention of the role of culture in relation to embedding sustainability in business education. This lacuna is surprising given that researchers have noted the crucial role that culture plays in variation in sustainability adoption across contexts. In response, this 2021 symposium is designed to begin to explore the role that culture plays in sustainability-focused management pedagogies by bringing together academics that teach sustainability in a variety of different contexts. Rather than trying to determine universal or aggregate dimensions of culture that can be generalized without significant regard for differentiated contexts, we take the view that culture can best be understood in respect to specific settings, and, therefore, a high level of contextualization is imperative. Thus, our desire is to begin a conversation to understand sustainability-focused pedagogical practices in a grounded manner and how they may vary across differentiated contexts.
