Author

Abstract

Purpose - This paper aims to call on accounting academics to conduct oral histories with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ+) members of the industry. Design/methodology/approach - The paper includes a review of the limited work in the field and recommends an oral history approach to understand current conditions as well as how they arose. Moreover, the paper recommends widening the scope of the research into countries with varying LGBTQ+ rights. Findings - There is surprisingly limited research in this area and more needs to be undertaken, especially with regard to LGBTQ+ persons of color and LGBTQ+ accountants in under-researched localities. Practical implications - The paper makes specific recommendations for future research. Social implications - Currently there is very little understanding of the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ members of our industry. The recommended research could – by increasing awareness – lead to better working conditions. Originality/value - This paper addresses the dearth of research on LGBTQ+ issues in accounting.
