IPA 2009
Emerging Scholars Colloquium
The Emerging Scholars Colloquium (ESC) is a two-day event that precedes the main IPA conference. It is targeted at emerging scholars in any field of accounting who are currently doing a PhD. In line with the orientation of the IPA, the ESC tries to promote the interdisciplinary study of accounting. Accordingly, emerging scholars interested in, and working on, the social, political, and organizational aspects of accounting theory and practice are particularly welcome.
The idea of the ESC is to give PhD students a chance to discuss their work with each other as well as with established accounting scholars. The main feature of the ESC is thus the presentation and discussion of students’ PhD work. In addition, faculty members provide input on selected topics of wider interest.
The ESC of the IPA 2009 will start first thing on Tuesday, 7 July, in the morning and will end on Wednesday, 8 July, in the evening. It is organized by Chris Chapman (Imperial College London) and Martin Messner (HEC School of Management, Paris) and brings together 8 faculty members who will give their feedback and input:
• Thomas Ahrens, Warwick Business School, United Kingdom
• Marcia Annissette, York University, Canada
• Salvador Carmona, Instituto de Empresa, Spain
• David Cooper, University of Alberta, Canada
• Clinton Free, Queen’s University, Canada
• Rihab Khalifa, Warwick Business School, United Kingdom
• Paul Williams, North Carolina State University, United States
• Joni Young, University of New Mexico, United States
