Biography

I joined WBS in 2020 from the University of Leicester, where I had
worked since 2015 and for three years as Head of the Accounting
Division at the School of Business. Prior to coming to the UK, I had
worked for sixteen years at Bielefeld University in Germany, where I
edited Zeitschrift für Soziologie, one of the leading German-language
peer-review journals in sociology, from 2008 to 2015. I am member of
the editorial board of Zeitschrift für Soziologie and of the journal
Accounting, Organizations and Society, member of the Centre for Social
and Environmental Accounting Research (CSEAR), Senior Fellow of the
Higher Education Academy, and Associate Editor of European Accounting Review.

I am interested in understanding accounting as a social practice
pervasive across organisations, businesses and governments, public and
private settings, professions and industries, local communities as
well as global discourses and institutions. I am particularly keen on
investigating dynamics of accounting change under disruptive
conditions and the potential of accounting to address ecological
issues such as environmental impact, degradation, and renewal.
