Abstract

How can we bring together accounting academics and practitioners to engage in meaningful conversations about diversity, equity, inclusion, and Indigeneity (DEII)? This paper offers a reflection on DEII drawn from a diversity event held in Canada in 2024 by the academic initiative Accounting for Impact. Drawing on the idea of engagement as practice, the paper examines the conversations, shared experiences, and organizational processes surrounding the event. It also reflects on practices that were less effective, particularly regarding the profiles of attendees and the risk of further invisibilizing certain marginalized communities. Overall, the paper provides practical implications by offering actionable suggestions to support accounting academics and practitioners aiming to launch DEII-focused events in accounting, with transferable starting points adaptable to their own contexts.
