Dr M. May Seitanidi

Module Convenor 
M.M.Seitanidi@kent.ac.uk

May is passionate about reflection as a form of thinking and writing that raises awareness on the process of becoming responsible. All the modules that she designed and convenes in CSR at Kent Business School incorporate reflection as a learner-centred approach that develops self-awareness of thoughts, feelings, and actions. Students have the opportunity to develop a reflective report which deepens their theoretical learning in CSR, Business Ethics and Sustainability theories facilitating a deeper level of understanding about their own values and assumptions. Through reflection they learn to consider multiple perspectives in addressing social issues, a requirement for responsible actors in pluralistic societies.
