We are pleased to announce the Duke Accounting Theory Summer School, organized by the Duke Fuqua School of Business.
The program will feature 3 days of lectures by Profs. Thomas Hemmer, Chandra Kanodia, and Qi Chen on a variety of contemporary accounting theories. The program aims to introduce to participants foundational theoretical frameworks relevant to accounting research, and to help participants develop the ability to apply theory-based framework to accounting research, and appreciate the connection between accounting research and broader research paradigms in economics and finance.
In addition to the main lectures during the day, the program also features informal social hours and poster sessions for participants to discuss their current research with other participants, as well as with the speakers and accounting faculty and PhD students from local universities. The summer school will conclude with a panel discussion on future direction of accounting research and a group dinner on June 14.
Space is limited. If you are interested in attending, please apply as soon as possible by registering at the link below. We will accept applications as long as space is available. There is a $200 registration fee for faculty participants. The fee is waived for PhD students.
