Leading Race Work in Business Schools convened scholars from top business schools to identify ways in which business schools could lead the work of racial equity and inclusion through engagement with various learning modes. Best practices were captured for learning about and from racial differences, and innovative ideas generated about how to promote racial inclusion in MBA programs.

The conference took place February 7, 2020 and was built in part from research conducted during Harvard Business School’s 50th anniversary of the founding of the African American Student Union (AASU) in 2018 (visit Agents of Change website for more information about and from the anniversary event), and from the book, Race, Work, and Leadership by Laura Morgan Roberts, Tony Mayo, and David Thomas.
