Academy of Accounting Historians Section Announces Online Sessions for All AAA Members!
For the 2023-2024 academic year, the Academy of Accounting Historians (AAH) will sponsor a series of online sessions (Brownbag webinars) to provide researchers feedback on their historical and longitudinal papers. These sessions have been done for the past five years.
The format will be:
- Six Friday Brownbag Sessions, one presenter, sessions each from 10 am to 11:15 am Eastern (October 20, December 1, January 19, February 16, April 19, and May 17),
- Six to eight sessions for the mid-year webinar held over two half-day Fridays from 10 am to 1pm Eastern each day (March 15, 22).
The AAH will deliver the Friday brownbag sessions with Zoom free of charge. The AAA will deliver the mid-year webinar with Zoom for a modest fee. AAH and AAA members are invited to present papers and to be participants at all sessions.
For each submitted paper, there will be two blind reviewers. Each reviewer will be a subject expert. Authors will be encouraged to revise their papers with this feedback prior to presentations. All participants will be provided with a copy of the revised paper. The discussant, a third pair of eyes and a subject expert, will review and discuss the revised paper.
To present a paper at a session or to be a participant, please contact Gary Spraakman, former AAH president, at garys@yorku.ca.
