The EAA Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee invites submissions of extended abstracts for the first part of a three-part developmental series on DEI research in accounting.
What we are looking for. Research at the individual, team, organisational, or national level that engages one or more ways of conceptualising diversity — including race, ethnicity, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, power differentials, disability status, and neurodiversity. Work on equity and differential outcomes within organisations and other societal structures. Work on inclusion, respect, and belonging within teams, organisations, and professions. Quantitative, qualitative, conceptual, and mixed-methods work are all welcome, as is work grounded in any national or regional context.
Selection criteria. Abstracts will be selected on the basis that they (1) fall within the DEI domain; (2) are not currently under review at a journal; and (3) are at an early or middle stage of development. Priority goes to junior faculty and doctoral students, and to authors who identify a specific question they want help with. Authors may submit more than one abstract; one per author will be selected.
What to submit (one document, maximum three pages):
What participation involves. Authors are asked to read the other abstract discussed in their breakout room. Participants who join a room as a reviewer are asked to read two abstracts. Those who wish to attend the panel only are welcome to register as observers, with no reading commitment.
Decisions will be communicated by 23 September. Submit to EAA DEIC by 21 September 2026.
