  • What to do when the world (almost) falls apart

    It has been a long time since the last post. A long. Long. Time. As I entered this final year of my PhD, I did intend to “slow things down” on here as the effort had to shift to completing the thesis at a comfortable rate. I had ambitiously envisioned a fortnightly, or even monthly

  • Research “To-Do”: Accounting and Fashion History

    Before a very quick exploration of the topic of Fashion History here are some brief excuses for the prolonged absence of posting. I will create a post about my adventures at some point but, October was a busy month most notably my first time attending a workshop and this is the experience most certainly worth

  • Ornament and Crime, Creativity in Academia

    After spending the last few months working on a theoretical paper that will eventually (eventually being now, as I plan to return to the task after this post) my PhD theory chapter. I have been thinking a lot about how ‘academic’ writing is defined and, if creativity has a place in academic writing. Ornament and

  • Conference ‘Fall Crawl’: 3 Conferences, 2 weeks, 1 Presentation

    Today’s post is yet more evidence of why scrolling through EventBrite can pay off (well sort of, only 1 event from this crawl was found there). Over the last 2 weeks I found myself inadvertently on yet another conference crawl, and not just any conference crawl, this one was entirely free of charge. What made

  • Research To-Do: Death & Double Entry

    As I (try) to embed the habit of regular posting I have realised that fully researched/cited blog posts in conjunction with researching/writing a thesis may not be entirely plausible as ‘down time’ is very much a PhD necessity (after all, Halloween sweaters do not knit themselves). I do however, desire to share my research thoughts

  • What’s in a name? Names, Gender, & Identity

    Disclaimer 1: When referring to author of the journal being discussed, I have used they/them pronouns as I do not know their preferred terms and do not wish to assume. Disclaimer 2: This may contain spoilers for the Barbie Movie (I am not 100% certain they are spoilers but, in case they are, maybe read

  • Conference Crawl Anyone?

    In a useful follow-up to my previous post concerning finding yourself at a conference that did not quite meet your needs, I can now present the opposite outcome. Over the last week I attend 2 further conferences and, thankfully, I can report that these experiences gifted me some very useful material and connections. Conference 1:

  • Sheep on the Beach: Right Person, Wrong Conference

    June has been a fast moving month, while 1 week was a much-needed holiday, it was immediately followed by a conference (and by immediately I mean I travelled from Croatia to Edinburgh to Norwich in one very long day). JIAR 10th Annual Conference @ the University of East Anglia I had been looking forward to

  • Anti-Social Science: Are we ignoring humans in accounting research?

    I do not claim to know the answer to this as I will admit I am working from the memory of all the academic papers I have read to date however, after attending another fascinating and exceptionally useful SGSSS Summer School this week, the content explored got me thinking about how ‘human’ is accounting research?

  • Getting back on the horse…after COVID

    My intention was to post last week however, as the title suggests, I was visited by a rather unwelcome guest. With last week lost to my second experience of COVID-19 (10/10 do not recommend), I will now spend this post trying to remember all of my thoughts from 2 weeks ago. On the 18th May
