At the beginning of July Associate Professor Lisa Barnes (Head of ABS) presented a paper authored by Warrick Long, Lisa Barnes, Maria Northcote and Tony Williams to the annual Accounting and Finance academics in Australia and New Zealand (AFAANZ), held in Auckland, NZ. The paper was titled ‘Disruptive Changing University Environments: Have Accounting Academics been gazumped?’, and won the best paper award for the education stream at the conference. The topic comes from the PhD work of Warrick on the lived experience of Australian accounting academics. Congratulations to Warrick, Lisa and the other authors.
