Summary | In recent years accounting research has moved beyond traditional boundaries to embrace an array of organisational forms and diverse arenas. A host of investigations into accounting's operation in everyday life proliferate the accounting academic journals. Accounting's interactions with consumerism, art, race and gender have contributed rich insights to the accounting craft. This course aims to gather together the core streams within this broad church and offer students an alternative insight into the accounting discipline. |
