Opening Accounting: Expanding Topics, Methods, and Perspectives

We gratefully acknowledge the Diversity, Gender Issues and Worklife Balance, and Public Interest sections for their sponsorship of this webinar.

This weARE webinar will communicate “open accounting” to AAA members and promote research topics and methods that rarely appear in US journals. Many AAA members have a wealth of lived experiences and professional and personal connections that could inform rich scholarship on a variety of topics, but many of us have not been exposed to these topics and methods in our doctoral programs or in reading the journals that typically “count” for tenure and promotion in the US. Presenters will share opportunities to not only engage in these types of research, but also to publish this work in outlets that AAA members previously may not have considered (or even known exist!).

Prior to the webinar, we encourage attendees to read the Opening Accounting Manifesto and/or watch the associated video. This Manifesto emanates from our collective desire to speak out and stand up for those voices our scholarship system has systematically silenced. We wish to highlight and honor all who have been marginalized and sidelined, who are often ignored or overlooked. We implore the accounting academic community to expand its focus to issues of significant importance, recognizing inequities and our complacency, or worse, our perpetuation of said oppression. We want to support, co-struggle with, develop community accountability for, and create a prominent space for the voices of those individuals who do not identify with the White, middle-class, able-bodied, Westernized-educated, heteronormative hegemony saturating academic publications. We hope our academic activism will facilitate the publication and active listening for viewpoints that the dominant forms of power have methodically subjugated. We do not suggest that this Manifesto is exhaustive, nor that we discussed each area thoroughly. We can only hope that those reading this Manifesto will contribute in ways that we have not directly imagined or described. What we offer is only an initial starting point for a much deeper, representative, ambitious, and reflective path forward.
