Accounting theory: Ulrike adopts an interdisciplinary, social-scientific approach to management accounting, balancing this with technical expertise and training to deliver high-quality, research-led teaching and meet professional bodies’ requirements for accreditation purposes. Ulrike has experience of teaching more explicitly theoretical modules on accounting programmes. Her teaching in these areas adopts an active learning approach that puts student engagement at the heart of the module, to develop critical reading and writing skills, as well as students’ research and communication skills. In these modules she draws upon historical and recent research in accounting, to work through theorisation of accounting from different theoretical perspectives, including critical theory. Accounting for non-profit organisations, social and environmental accounting: Ulrike has taught specialised modules on accounting for economic and social activities in NPOs, including environmental reporting and sustainable governance, and their potential impact on company performance. The object of the module was to demonstrate how performance measurement methods can be developed for NPOs and what the limits of such measurements are. Ulrike has been a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy since 2017.ResearchResearch Interests:Ulrike’s research mainly focusses on social studies of accounting, such as the emergence and translation of new (management) accounting phenomena as a response to crisis and political problematizations, for example the emergence of gender budgeting as ‘accounting for equality’, or more recently the emergence of managing and measuring well-being. Interdisciplinary in nature, her research draws upon organization theory, feminist theory, political philosophy and science and technology studies in order to develop insights to inform organizational, social and political action. Her research has been published in international journals such as Gender, Work and Organization and she is member and affiliated researcher in a wide range of national and international research networks and communities.
