About the Authors
Professor Reshmaan Hussam is a development economist in the Business, Government, and International Economy unit at HBS and teaches the MBA class of the same name. Her current research focuses on the processes and consequences of dehumanization and policies to counter its effects. She works in the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh exploring the consequences of genocide and the challenges that refugees and migrants face in integration, employment, and psychosocial impacts from the loss of home. Her explorations of race in the United States emerge from this global and historical lens around dehumanization. Dr. Hussam completed her PhD in Economics from MIT and post-doctoral work at Yale prior to joining Harvard Business School.
