Accounting and Society
The Accounting and Society Research Mobilisation Group at the University of Sussex Business School views accounting as a social and institutional practice that defines and constitutes social relations (Miller, 1994). Members of the group draw upon a mix of quantitative and qualitative methodologies to undertake impactful interdisciplinary research in the areas of accountability, governance, inequality, performance management, accounting profession and accounting education, to meet the emerging agendas of business, government, higher education, and the wider society.
