In this episode, we head to Café Artum in Hockley Social Club in Birmingham for Professor Helen Wood and Dr Mairi Brennan’s live talk: Reality TV: Who cares.

The Society matters LIVE talk took place on Thursday 29 February 2024.

Next up, for Society matters LIVE is the talk: Accountability: A Cure for a Toxic Workplace?

The contemporary workplace is evolving as a result of rapid digitalisation, human rights movements, and socio-economic turbulence. The post-#MeToo society pays greater attention to organisational accountability for workplace environment and culture, motivating employees to seek workplaces free from bullying, harassment, discrimination, and other toxic behaviours.

So, What is accountability at work? Who is accountable to whom and for what? How can you hold power to account?

Hosting the live talk on Thursday 28 March is Dr Galina Goncharenko - a Reader in Accounting at Aston University, who’s encouraging us to look at our workplace from the perspective of accountability.

Dr Goncharenko’s research focuses on social accounting, accountability at work, workplace democracy, netnography and accountability discourses on social media platforms. Her work has published in a number of leading accounting and management science journals, such as Critical Perspectives on Accounting and Business Ethics Quarterly.
