The Queering Accounting Manifesto

Alessandro Ghio, Nicholas McGuigan and Lisa Powell

CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON ACCOUNTING, 2023, vol. 90, issue C

Abstract: The Queering Accounting Manifesto draws on the queer revolution, which began in the aftermath of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, to declare the following statements: We denounce all expressions of ‘norms’ and ‘normal’. We will be alert to and call out all expressions of gender and sexual control within accounting. We reject a single view of accounting. We embrace fluidity and reject false binaries. We encourage Queer unlearning. Queer and non-queer accountants must hold space for one another. Readers should continuously Queer this Queering Accounting Manifesto. We end by calling on all readers, queer and non-queer, to join us and dismantle heteropatriarchy in accounting.
