Accounting, Society and the Environment

RESEARCH WORKSHOP
Wednesday 1st April 9am 5.30pm

Dear Colleague,
I am pleased to invite you to the third Accounting, Society and Environmental Research Group (ASE)
workshop, which is being held at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, on Wednesday 1st April 2015.
ASE is a friendly, scholarly event that brings together researchers to present, discuss and debate their
research projects in various stages of development. The workshop is intended as a forum to
encourage research collaboration across institutions and disciplines and for the dissemination of
research outputs. This research workshop is interdisciplinary and welcomes contributions from all
disciplines interested in Accounting, Society or Environmental issues.
We seek contributions that have an accounting, management, regulatory or policy making dimension,
that have a social or environmental orientation, and which may be theoretical, empirical or
methodological, or a combination of those. The research may be contemporary, historical or
comparative. We are particularly interested in novel and creative approaches to the investigation of
these phenomena. This workshop also welcomes papers from doctoral students.
th
The submission deadline for the workshop is 16 March 2015. Earlier submissions are welcome.
Completed papers will be preferred. Manuscripts should be sent electronically (in a Word file
format) to a.paterson@hw.ac.uk and copied to a.yonekura@hw.ac.uk. This event has been
sponsored by the Edinburgh Centre for European Financial Studies (EDEFIS). There is no fee for
participation or attendance in this workshop.
