Sarah Stookey's Background (.pdf)

Sarah’s interest in studying business and management arose from almost a decade of helping to promote community-based economic development in Nicaragua. She also spent several years helping to create grassroots-managed lending programs in the Philippines and Zambia. Her current research is motivated by a desire to create organizations that respond to the needs of society broadly defined. This involves articulating and evaluating the economic and philosophical assumptions underlying the treatment of money in management theory and practice. She is also very interested in promoting community-based financial institutions such as credit unions.

Sarah currently teaches classes on general principles of management and business/social ethics. She has also taught classes on leadership and organizational behavior. She uses a multi-disciplinary perspective to help students see familiar norms and apparent imperatives of business activity in new lights and to encourage them to take seriously their own experience and values.

Prior to coming to CCSU in 2006 Sarah taught at UMASS Amherst, Mount Holyoke College and Bay Path College.
