Overview
By: Peter Tufano
Description
At HBS in 2022-23, Tufano is designing and will teach a new multi-school doctoral course, The Financial Economics of Climate and Sustainability. This novel course, taught with professors from Yale, Columbia, Stanford, Texas, Imperial, and Oxford features leading researchers working together to train doctoral students and to assemble a global community of climate finance scholars. He will be supporting Eleanor Laurans and Jim Mattheson on a new SIP, Climate Entrepreneurship: The need and the opportunity for entrepreneurship in the climate fight. He will also be teaching the MBA RC course, Leadership and Corporate Accountability.
As Oxford, Tufano made systems change a core part of the MBA curriculum, collaborating with colleagues from across the University. He championed and was part of the teaching team for Global Opportunities and Threats: Oxford (GOTO), where students learn how to analyze and map systems, identify intervention points to lead to systemic change, and work on self-designed projects to effect this change. At Oxford he also taught in the inaugural online course on FinTech.
Prior to leaving HBS to join Oxford, Tufano created and taught courses on Corporate Financial Engineering, Household Finance (joint with Harvard Law School), and lead the team that created the required course, Finance 2.
