CALL FOR PAPERS: AAAJ Special Issue on Accounting for Inequalities
This Special Issue of AAAJ seeks to open new discussions and revisit earlier dialogues about the intersection of accounting, accountability and inequality. As the world faces mounting social, environmental, and economic challenges, it is timely to reconsider and reassess the role accounting plays—not just as an apparently neutral calculative practice but as an instrument for both perpetuating inequalities and promoting equity and justice. We invite scholars holding concerns about inequality, or envisaging proposals for reducing inequality, to examine how accounting has been involved in creating and reproducing inequalities and explore how it can embrace new possibilities to address and reduce unfairness and related disparities across societies. The overarching aim of this Special Issue is to foster innovative thinking that pushes the boundaries of accounting research, theory, and practice in addressing some of the most pressing issues of our time.
Submissions open 31 January 2025
A workshop will be organised to support authors planning to submit to the Special Issue. It will occur during the APIRA Conference being held in Adelaide, South Australia, during 2- 4 July 2025.

Additionally, participation in the workshop does not guarantee acceptance of a submission into the Special Issue. Authors interested in participating must email Dr. Nikidehaghani by 1st March 2025.
