ANOTHER SPECIAL DIVERSITY SECTION WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 4:00PM, EASTERN

Issues in Accounting Education has distributed a call for papers related to Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice in Accounting Education. The AAA Diversity Section is supporting our members in developing papers for submission to this special issue by hosting a workshop for authors to present their work and receive feedback. The workshop will be held virtually via Zoom on Wednesday, July 14, 4:00 PM Eastern/3:00 PM Central. (The reason for the late start time is that three of the guest editors attending the workshop are located in Australia. They will join us at 6:00 AM!)

We are inviting all members of the Diversity Section to read these paper proposals, attend this workshop, and share comments, questions, and other feedback with the authors to enrich their papers. If you would like to attend the workshop, PLEASE REGISTER HERE. We will distribute the paper proposals and the Zoom link for the workshop to all registrants.
