Profile

Katie graduated from Victoria University of Wellington in 2012 with a BCA (Honours) in Accounting and Commercial Law, and was awarded the prestigious Victoria Medal for Academic Excellence. She is currently lecturing in ACCY 111, as well as tutoring 300-level ACCY papers, and has recently become a CA with Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand.

Katie's research is focused on the spaces of engagement and accountability relationships within a site of environmental conflict. It involves a case study (a proposed oil pipeline project in Canada) that examines how accounting could be 'opened up' and 'broadened out' through the exploration of contested notions of engagement and accountability.
