Loyola fosters an atmosphere of holism, where one’s scholarship, teaching, and service are interwoven, such that they feed into and enrich each other. This holistic approach flows from Loyola’s value of cura personalis, which permeates the campus community.

Throughout my time at Loyola, I’ve been immensely and increasingly grateful to work at an institution that supports my commitments to the preferential options for the earth and poor (arising out of my faith in Christ). This support has come in multiple ways: financial support for my scholarship; course development grants to construct courses such as “Justice, Peace, and the Integrity of Creation;” and collegial support from peers both within and outside my department who have overlapping interest and have graciously given their time in conversation and proofreading.

Patricia Kanashiro, Ph.D.

Tenured and Promoted

Associate Professor of Management and International Business

Research Interests

Corporate sustainability, defined as the “triple bottom line” (people, planet, and profits), has always been my personal and professional interest. I have three main areas of research: sustainability strategy, sustainability in management education, and sustainability theory building. I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to develop my research at Loyola in the spirit of the Jesuit values of magis and women and men for and with others. Moreover, my research attempts to address some of the environmental concerns laid out by Pope Francis in his encyclical letter Laudato Si. 

Favorite Courses Taught at Loyola

• I appreciate teaching the Business school capstone courses - GB 709 Strategic Management (graduate) and MG 402 Business Policy (undergraduate) - and help students integrate and augment materials from previous courses.
• In my IB 282 International Business, students appreciate a wide diversity of political, economic, and social issues as they understand the role of business in global and local contexts. I enjoy engaging my students in provocative dialogue as they challenge their own and each other assumptions.

My most significant service to Loyola was instituting the Office of Digital Teaching and Learning (ODTL) in conjunction with Academic Affairs.

Additionally, I am proud of my work as co-chair of the Vision for Graduate Education which contributed to the last strategic plan.

What is Most Significant or Rewarding about Loyola

My most rewarding work at Loyola has been the direct interaction with the students, both undergraduate and graduate. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching, mentoring, conducting research, advising and talking to the students.

As an engaged scholar dedicated to issues of literacy and social justice, Loyola has provided a fertile environment to expand my practice as a researcher while tangibly supporting my partnerships with the Baltimore and Maryland communities. I came to Loyola because I believed this was a place where my contributions to student development, engaged scholarship, and collaborations as an active university citizen would be aligned to the Ignatian values of the university – social justice, community, and service. In my time here, this belief has been significantly reinforced by supportive colleagues and administration for whom I am incalculably grateful.

Since joining Loyola, I have done my best to transform students and myself into a whole person with character and competence following Romans 12:2 (“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind”).  I interpret Romans 12:2 as follows: “we are responsible for learning not only everlasting values such as integrity, honesty, righteousness, compassion, fellowship, and commitment, but also about changing times such as new technology, skills, and knowledge.” I not only included it in my undergraduate syllabus but also adopted it as my teaching, research, and service philosophy.  I am grateful to those Jesuits’ values, which have propelled me to upgrade myself constantly.
