Louise Ripley, MBA, PhD|
I retired on July 1, 2015, after 35 happy years of
teaching at York University.
I am still busy, still writing, able to read more.
I do miss my students and am always glad to hear from former
students and colleagues. In 2017, In finally managed to find a publisher for my novel, A Love of War. I wrote the novel out of experiences with the YUFA Strike of 1997. Some of my happiest memories (after teaching) were of working for my Union and serving as a Union officer. See Louise's Books |

I
earned a PhD in Management Studies (major in Marketing, minor in Finance) from
University of Toronto, an MBA in
Finance from Loyola University of Chicago,
and a Bachelor's degree from Shimer
College,
one of the world's finest (and smallest) liberal arts undergraduate schools.
I taught elementary school and then worked in Finance and Marketing Research
in "the real world" before coming to York.

I love teaching, both in the classroom and on the Internet. In 2009, I received the MERLOT
Business Classics Award for my online teaching materials for Introductory
Marketing.
I am a feminist scholar. My definition of feminism is
simple: a belief that women's ways of knowing and doing are just as valuable
as men's. I earned my
Women's Studies “degree” in the School of Hard Knocks, working in
male-dominated professions.
