Accounting History Review Conference

Article Type: Announcement and call for papers From: Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3

Cardiff University, 12-13 September 2011

The 23rd Accounting History Conference, organised at Cardiff Business School, will be the launch event for Accounting History Review. In accordance with the focus of the journal a key theme of the Conference will be ``Accounting in history'' – exploring the scope for greater interdisciplinary engagement between accounting and mainstream historians. The guest speakers are historians whose work has important implications for accounting history research. Plenary addresses will be given by Mary Poovey, New York University, author of Genres of the Credit Economy: Mediating Value in Eighteenth and Nineteenth-Century Britain and A History of the Modern Fact; and Evan Jones, Bristol University, author of prize-winning work on accounting for smuggling in the mid-sixteenth century.

Also with a view to stimulating the development of new research agendas there will be a panel discussion on future research directions in accounting history involving leading commentators on the state of the field over the past two decades. Panellists include Salvador Carmona, Warwick Funnell, Christopher Napier and Stephen Walker.

The conference will also feature parallel sessions. Theoretical, empirical and review papers are welcomed in all areas of accounting history.

Delegates are provided with the opportunity of receiving constructive feedback, in an informal setting, on papers ranging from early working drafts to fully developed manuscripts. The programme allows approximately 35 minutes for presentation and discussion.

The Conference, organised by Malcolm Anderson and Stephen Walker, will be held in the prestigious Glamorgan Building of Cardiff University. Sessions will commence on the morning of 12 September 2011 and conclude in the late afternoon of 13 September.

The event will feature a wine reception sponsored by Taylor & Francis on 11 September, Conference lunches, teas and a dinner in the Great Hall of Caerphilly Castle, one of the most impressive medieval fortresses in western Europe.
