Sareh’s dissertation explores the essence of professionalization and underscores the relevance of professional ethics for the debates over the role of business in society. Professions and professional associations are an important (though underappreciated) topic in business ethics, because even though they are private economic entities, professions have historically been portrayed by some as ethically motivated. Our everyday moral sensibilities are fundamentally intertwined with our professional identities. Viewing managers as professionals thus has far-reaching implications for defining managerial moral obligations towards the firm and towards society in general.

Sareh’s area of specialization is business ethics. Her broader interests include political philosophy and applied ethics.
