Hendrik Vollmer presented his Handbook of Accounting in Society, with the collaboration of several internationally renowned researchers. This book covers a variety of topics, including social and environmental accounting, teaching, accountability and sustainability, and has been the basis of a stimulating debate between academics and researchers.
The event, part of NOVA SBE's Management Seminars and the activities carried out by CEOS.PP's Sustainability and Social Business research group, is part of ISCAP-IPP's internationalisation mission.
In the sessions he presented, Vollmer explored innovative perspectives in the field of Accounting on contemporary and emerging issues that shape society and the world today and influence the decision-making process of organisations and institutions.
Hendrik Vollmer has been a lecturer at Warwick Business School since 2020. From 2015 to 2020, he taught at the University of Leicester and, for three years, worked as Head of the Accounting Division at the School of Business. Before arriving in the UK, Hendrik Vollmer worked at the University of Bielefeld in Germany, where he edited the Zeitschrift für Soziologie, one of the leading German-language sociology journals. His research focuses on social studies of accounting, environmental accounting, ecological reconstitution and social change. Hendrik is currently associate editor of the European Accounting Review and editor of the Handbook of Accounting in Society, guest editor of a special issue of the Social and Environmental Accountability Journal (SEAJ) on ‘Bringing planetary boundaries back to Earth: Rethinking accounting for ecological limits’ and sits on the editorial boards of the Zeitschrift für Soziologie and the journal Accounting, Organisations and Society (AOS). He is also a member of the Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research (CSEAR) and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
Professor Hendrik Vollmer's visit was the result of an initiative developed by Cláudia Teixeira, José Vale and Luís Gomes, from ISCAP-IPP, and Marta Almeida, from NOVA SBE.
The events were shared with the academic and scientific community and the general public, with the participation of teachers and researchers from various institutions, namely NOVA-SBE, ISCAP-IPP, ISEG-UL, ISCTE-IUL, ESCE-IPS and FEP-UP, thus promoting networking and collaboration in the field of research and knowledge transfer.
Handbook of Accounting in Society is available to ISCAP-IPP students and lecturers, as part of the strategy of continually updating the bibliographical references of the ISCAP-IPP Library.
