422: Integrating SDGs Into Management Courses, Curricula and Programs (15182)

Management education that is focused on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has certainly increased in the past decade, and recent AACSB standards toward social impact will likely accelerate this trend. This PDW offers an opportunity to learn about designing courses, curricula and programs with SDG content, and provides a platform for transforming your pedagogy to align with social and environmental goals. The session will begin with a brief presentation by scholars who have significant experience in implementing SDGs in their universities and classes, and will then turn to a guided open dialogue with audience participants on the current state and future direction of SDG integration in management education. We will also discuss some techniques and structures for doing so that have proven effective. Our multidisciplinary and international team of organizers and facilitators will cover a broad diversity of SDG related and perspectives. We encourage attendees to participate and share what is happening at their universities so we can all benefit in learning how to integrate the SDGs into management courses, curricula and programs.
