About the Event
On May 19, 2025, at 1 pm (Lisbon time), the international webinar “When ‘Places’ educate: hacking accounting education through spaces” will be held, an initiative that brings together experts from different universities around the world to reflect on the role of physical and contextual spaces in accounting education.
The panel of speakers includes authors of the article of the same name published in Accounting Forum (vol. 49, no. 1), such as Charles H. Cho (York University), David Derichs (Aalto University), Nicholas McGuigan (Monash University), Joan Ballantine (Ulster University), Alessandro Ghio (ESCP Europe), Louise Gorman (Trinity College Dublin), Cláudio de Araujo Wanderley (UFPE), among many other internationally renowned researchers.
The session's keynote paper, available here, proposes an original approach to teaching accounting, showing how “places” - as educational agents - influence methodologies, learning and training experiences. Through six case studies, the authors show how the design of spaces and local reality contribute to more meaningful, participative and interdisciplinary learning.
The event takes place online, with free access via the Zoom platform:
