Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Abstract The future of the interdisciplinary accounting research movement relies on the well-being of both the research and the researcher. In this article, we focus on the latter. We use the metaphor of the Myth of Sisyphus alongside Albert Camus’ re-conceptualization of him as the Absurd hero to make sense of the lived experiences of the accounting ethnographer. Drawing on interview data with experienced ethnographic scholars, we push beyond the pages of the ‘how-to’ textbook, describing and discussing the emotional challenges of engaging in accounting ethnography. As with Sisyphus’ task, there is an impossibility to the accounting ethnographer’s mission. The researcher will never ascertain a total understanding of the accounting phenomenon of interest. Either the boulder is too heavy, or the hill is too steep, or both. However, we show how the researcher revolts – in Camus’ sense of the word – against these challenges, ultimately finding professional and personal meaning from the work. We discuss the implications of our findings, providing some recommendations for the well-being of the interdisciplinary accounting project and the interdisciplinary accounting researcher.
