How does accounting shape the past, present and future of society?
The Accounting History Journal and the University of Portsmouth announce a major conference; the eleventh edition of the Accounting History International Conference (11AHIC).
Updated call for papers
The call for papers has been updated due to the postponement of the 11th Accounting History International Conference which will now be held in 2022. Please continue to hold 9 September 2021 from 09:00-11:00 BST for an engaging AHVS Accounting History Virtual Seminar.
Whilst papers will be accepted across the full range of accounting history topics and methodological and theoretical perspectives, authors are encouraged to address topics and perspectives relevant to the conference theme: How does accounting shape the past, present and future of society?
This involves studying accounting in various contexts, such as business, social and public sector organisations, including charitable bodies, mutual societies, professional and academic bodies and family businesses. Investigations may include, but are not limited to, studies which:
- Examine key conceptions of accounting, such as accounting as technical, social and moral practice in historical contexts;
- Explore accounting’s past to contribute to the capacity to critique or potentially reform contemporary accounting practice, thought and regulation.
- Investigate accounting’s use in historical settings as an instrument to maintain or enhance relationships of power and control in organisations of any type and within societies.
- Investigate the nature, roles, uses and impacts of accounting from the perspective of accounting as a key change agent. Accounting as an agent with both enabling and disabling forms of behaviour, shapes the cultures of organisations with implications for organisational and social functioning and development.
Inquiries may be directed to the Conference Convener, Karen McBride, Accounting and Financial Management, School of Business and Law, University of Portsmouth, via email: karen.mcbride@port.ac.uk

History
Portsmouth has one of the greatest maritime heritages in the world. The University is located close to the Historic Dockyard, including the world-famous ships Mary Rose, HMS Victory, and HMS Warrior 1860, modern day naval battleships, and the National Museum of the Royal Navy.
There is a strong literary heritage in Portsmouth, being the birthplace of both the world-famous author Charles Dickens and the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. Both are commemorated in the Charles Dickens Birthplace Museum and the ‘Study in Sherlock’ exhibition at the Portsmouth Museum respectively. Portsmouth is home to several castles and forts, including Southsea Castle, the Round Tower, and the Square Tower.
The more modern Spinnaker Tower at Gun Wharf is stunning. Standing at 170m in height, the tower is taller than the London Eye, Big Ben, and the Blackpool Tower. It offers wonderful views over Portsmouth and the English Channel. Portsmouth also has two cathedrals and many churches, including the Garrison Church which was bombed in World War Two.
