Classroom Culture and Norms Working Group Q+A

3 weeks ago
Professors Joseph (Joe) Badaracco and Suraj Srinivasan are the co-chairs of the Classroom Culture and Norms Working Group. Established by Dean Srikant Datar in the fall of 2023, the four working groups—including Antisemitism, Islamophobia and Anti-Arabism, and Free Expression and Community Values—aim to address the issues that arose on campus following the events of October 7. We talked with Badaracco and Srinivasan about their priorities and the work underway to ensure that students across Harvard Business School’s (HBS) academic disciplines engage in respectful, productive dialogue both in and outside of the classroom.
