Black Swan and the Corn Maiden

Accounting Education, 2010, vol. 19, issue 4, 393-401

Abstract: Our responsibility as educators is to encourage our students to engage their minds and imaginations in visioning for themselves ethical frameworks that will serve them well as they experience the chaos of living. We consider how to facilitate seeing and creating the world differently by reframing ideas and enlivening them through alternative media forms. Through their own investigations, actions, perceptions and engagements, students construct their own realities. We provide an example of how both students and their teachers can empower an emancipatory framing through the use of reflection, metaphor and story.
