WORKSHOP
Building on recent debates in critical accounting research, the workshop “Accounting and Vulnerability” will take place at Helmut-Schmidt-University in Hamburg, Germany, on September 14–15, 2026. The workshop brings together accounting scholars with researchers from crip theory, decolonial feminist scholarship, organisation studies and related fields to explore vulnerability as a relational, dynamic and politically contested phenomenon.
The workshop aims to examine how accounting practices shape the recognition, governance and lived experience of vulnerability across contexts such as social care, crisis management, migration, public services and environmental governance, while also exploring possibilities for counter-accounts and dialogic forms of accounting.
The Workshop is part of the dtec.bw Research project „Digitalisierung in der freien Wohlfahrtspflege (DiWoP)“ and is funded by dtec.bw – Digitalisierungs- und Technologieforschungszentrum der Bundeswehr for which we are very grateful. dtec.bw is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
