Researcher Summary

I am interested in research on lived experience of practitioners.  I believe research studies on lived experience of accountants, corporate directors, investors, educators and students provide enriched insights in compliment to quantitative research studies.  I would love to listen to stories of how regulations or deregulations affect professional behaviours.  I am also interested in the diversity of perspectives involved in the decision making processes of practitioners.

Subject Area: Disciplines

  • Accounting and Finance: Accounting; Accounting Education; Financial Accounting; Management Accounting
