The purpose of the course is to give participants knowledge on how accounting can be studied, taking as the point of departure that accounting as practice, intentionally or unintentionally, influences the knowledge base, discussions and events in society and in organisations. The course takes both a methodological and a theoretical perspective on the subject, using an international perspective, but also following the Scandinavian research traditions. The course also intends to develop the participants’ ability to communicate research in both written and oral forms.
