Sarah Light has been appointed as the inaugural Mitchell J. Blutt and Margo Krody Blutt Presidential Professor at the Wharton School. Presidential professorships aim to help Penn attract and retain accomplished scholars and recognize their contributions. The Wharton appointment is one of three such professorships at Penn, with the other two housed in the School of Arts and Sciences and the Perelman School of Medicine. Light, a professor of legal studies and business ethics, has been a faculty member at Wharton since 2013. Her research focuses on the intersections between climate policy and private environmental policy and has appeared in publications such as the Stanford Law Review and the Duke Law Journal. She also serves as faculty co-director of the Wharton Climate Center.“The Presidential professorship recognizes and supports Professor Sarah Light’s pathbreaking research and teaching, which explores critical connections between business and law and addressing climate change,” Interim President Larry Jameson said in the announcement.
