Academy of Accounting Historians: Upcoming Webinar

The Accounting Historians Journal and the Academy Accounting Historians section of the AAA are pleased to sponsor a research webinar on February 14 and 28, 2020 from 10:00 am-1:00 pm (Eastern) on each day. The submission deadline is Wednesday, January 15, 2020.

Our webinar theme is, Generating Accounting Theory and Knowledge from Accounting History. This theme will likely appeal all accounting history researchers. The purpose of this research webinar is to provide detailed and insightful commentary on accounting history papers to facilitate publication in the Accounting Historians Journal and other quality journals. Each paper will be discussed by subject experts.

After two blind reviews, eight papers will be accepted for presentation, with four presented on each day. Papers will be made available to participants in advance, and there will be two discussants for each presented paper.

For more information and/or to submit a paper, please contact Gary Spraakman, garys@yorku.ca.

Letter from the President

This is an exciting time for the Academy as we leverage our successful past to expand our reach as a 21st century global organization.

We have substantially completed the transition from a standalone entity during early 2018 and we are now operating as a section within the American Accounting Association (AAA). A transition team has worked diligently since late 2015 to transfer the operations and dedicated resources of the Academy of Accounting Historians to a section within the AAA structure and we were welcomed at the AAA Centennial meeting in August 2016 as the newest section of the AAA.
