Plenary speakers

Professor Christine CooperProfessor Christine Cooper is Chair in Accounting at the University of Edinburgh. Christine's research is broadly concerned with the impact of accounting in our everyday lives and this broad interdisciplinary arena has two dominant strands. The first is concerned with the probably unanswerable question - why do we do what we do! In terms of accounting this would mean considering how accounting information or accounting's theoretical frameworks impact upon our decision-making or actions.

Professor Sonja GallhoferProfessor Sonja Gallhofer is an Emeritus Professor of Accounting, Governance and Accountability at the University of Glasgow, UK. She has a Masters Degree and a PhD from the Karl-Franzens Universität, Austria and Masters Degrees from the London School of Economics and the University of Manchester. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) and was a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA).  She is an editorial board member of several international accounting journals and has been an associate editor of Accounting and Business Research. The main focus of Sonja’s interdisciplinary work is the emancipatory and transformative potential of management practices, including accounting. Sonja has published research, which explores in historical and contemporary contexts the emancipatory potential of visibilities created through organisational accountability processes as well as counter accounting practices and co-authored (with Jim Haslam) Accounting and Emancipation: Some Critical Interventions (Routledge). Her more recent interests include attempts to go beyond Western dualism in the design of accountability systems through embracing holism, interconnectedness and interrelatedness and an exploration of the alternative accounts-art interrelationship.
