As the sands of time pass through the funnel, when you flip the hourglass over the past becomes the future.

Each year the Academy of Accounting Historians section presents the Hourglass Award to an individual who has made a demonstrable and significant contribution to knowledge through research and publication in accounting history. This year's recipient is Gary D. Carnegie. Although the award could not be presented in person due to the global pandemic, it was announced on August 11, 2020 at the AAH Section's virtual Business Meeting during the AAA Annual Meeting.

Garry D. Carnegie, BCom MCom Deakin, PhD Flinders, FCPA, has been an Emeritus Professor of RMIT University since January 1, 2018, having previously served in the roles of Head, School of Accounting and Professor of Accounting at the University from 2010 to 2017.

Join Us for a Brown Bag Online

The AAA section, the Academy of Accounting Historians (AAH), will be sponsoring a series of seminars called Brown Bag Online on about six Fridays a year, from 10:00 AM EST to 11:00 AM EST on those to-be-announced days. One or more authors will present a paper via Zoom to AAH members and other attendees. Dependent on the paper, some non-Academy participants may be invited who would be able to provide important insights to the presenting author or authors.

The Brown Bag Online series will commence on June 11, 2021, with a biography paper, "Nicholas Dopuch (1929–2018): Editor, Mentor, and Harbinger of an Empirical Accounting Research Revolution" by (in alphabetical order) Stephen R. Moehrle (University of Missouri–St. Louis), Martin E. Persson (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), and Jennifer A. Reynolds-Moehrle (University of Missouri–St. Louis).

To register for the inaugural Brown Bag Online seminar and to receive a copy of the paper to be presented, please contact the Academy president, Gary Spraakman (York University), at garys@yorku.ca
