Jerome Stewart

Oscar Jerome Stewart is an Assistant Professor of Management in USF’s School of Management. Professor Stewart considers himself a critical management scholar and is concerned with power within organizations and power of organizations, and how to create more equitable and cooperative power structures that bind members together in a beneficent mutuality. Currently, he is working on projects on corporate misconduct, discrimination in higher education, and critical business pedagogy. Outside of his scholarly identity, he loves to rehabilitate troubled dogs and can be seen traversing the East Bay with his two dogs, Sho Nuff the Shogun and Assata Shakur. Lately, he has also taken to bouldering (indoors), as a way to push himself in new ways. When he is too tired to hike or boulder, a good book is the next best thing.
