Finance and Philosophy 
The focus on ethics in finance within the “Generations 2050” framework is particularly timely, given how often financial scandals trace back to a lack of moral grounding in decision-making. That blend of research rigor and pedagogical innovation strikes me as exactly what’s needed to train future leaders who can actually navigate those carbon and inequality challenges by 2050.

The “Generations 2050” plan’s emphasis on climate finance and inequality makes this ethics-in-finance role feel especially timely. Having watched how short-term incentives can derail sustainable investing, it’s refreshing to see a business school tying faculty hiring directly to those long-term societal goals.
