Emerald Publishing Seeks Papers on Accounting's Role in Addressing Inequalities
Emerald Publishing has announced a call for papers for a special issue titled ‘Accounting for Inequalities,’ aiming to explore how accounting practices influence and address various forms of inequality. This initiative seeks to shed light on the profession’s impact on disparities related to gender, race, class, and other socio-economic factors. The special issue encourages submissions that critically examine how accounting practices and discourses have been implicated in maintaining and legitimizing systems of inequality across multiple dimensions.

Researchers are invited to propose transformative approaches to accounting that promote social justice and equity. The call emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary perspectives, welcoming contributions from scholars in accounting, sociology, economics, and related fields.
Submissions should offer theoretical insights, empirical analyses, or case studies that contribute to a deeper understanding of accounting’s role in societal inequalities. The deadline for manuscript submissions is September 30, 2025.
Authors are encouraged to adhere to the submission guidelines provided by Emerald Publishing and to ensure their work aligns with the thematic focus of the special issue. This call for papers represents a significant opportunity for academics and practitioners to engage in critical discourse on the ethical and social responsibilities of the accounting profession. By addressing these pressing issues, the special issue aims to foster a more equitable and inclusive approach to accounting practices worldwide.
