Overview

Tufano is the convener for an innovative global doctoral reading group, The Financial Economics of Climate and Sustainability (FECS). This novel course, taught with professors from Yale, Columbia, Stanford, Texas, Imperial, NYU, Mannheim, and Oxford brings together leading researchers to train doctoral students and to assemble a global community of climate finance scholars. The FECS program is offered through the Salata Institute. In the MBA program, Tufano teaches Leadership and Corporate Accountability, the Purpose of the Firm, and a short course on climate entrepreneurship (2023, 2024). 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.
