A spiritual reflection on emancipation and accounting

CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON ACCOUNTING, 2011, vol. 22, issue 5, 453-484

Abstract: This paper develops a spiritual interpretation of emancipation and the implications this has for the critical and social accounting projects. I argue that critical and social accounting scholars will need to undertake more explicit engagements with the spiritual dimensions of social change if we are ever to fully realize the emancipatory potential of the critical and social accounting projects. This paper explores some of the implications that spirituality might have for re-thinking how we’ve approached social change in our critical and social accounting literatures.
