Abstract
ABSTRACT It can be too easy to focus on the now and ignore the contribution of foundational texts that have shaped and to continue to shape our scholarship. This essay is a personal plea to revisit The Greening of Profession. Not in a backward facing homage to the passing of Rob, but to appreciate the scope and spirit of this work in order to infuse our work with a similar pioneering and problematising intent. This text played a critical role in the professional and academic legitimation of social and environmental accounting and in my opinion, captures the essential essence of Rob's impact on our field.
期刊介绍:
Social and Environmental Accountability Journal (SEAJ) is the official Journal of The Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research. It is a predominantly refereed Journal committed to the creation of a new academic literature in the broad field of social, environmental and sustainable development accounting, accountability, reporting and auditing. The Journal provides a forum for a wide range of different forms of academic and academic-related communications whose aim is to balance honesty and scholarly rigour with directness, clarity, policy-relevance and novelty. SEAJ welcomes all contributions that fulfil the criteria of the journal, including empirical papers, review papers and essays, manuscripts reporting or proposing engagement, commentaries and polemics, and reviews of articles or books. A key feature of SEAJ is that papers are shorter than the word length typically anticipated in academic journals in the social sciences. A clearer breakdown of the proposed word length for each type of paper in SEAJ can be found here.
