Accounting researchers have long been interested in the ways in which power dynamics and social structures shape financial reporting and organisational decision-making. Social reproduction theory provides a crucial perspective in this regard, as it focuses on how these structures and dynamics are perpetuated over time through institutions such as the economy and the accounting profession. Please join guest host Lyn Lanka (Cranfield) to discuss the maintenance and perpetuation of social structures and power dynamics, and how they can be used to challenge the status quo.
