Research interests

Julia’s has carried out research in the management accounting practices of non for profit organisations and remains interested in this subject. Her current research interest is in accounting education and examining ways of improving students’ engagement. She was sponsored by the British Accounting and Finance Association and has published research in The International Journal of Management Education and in Accounting Education:an international journal. She has followed up earlier research by investigating the use of Twitter in accounting education. In May 2013 Julia received the Prize for the best emerging paper at the BAFA SIG Education conference for a paper entitled 'Investigation of the Utility for Accounting Education of the Internet Based Social Networking Service and 'Microblogging' Tool Called Twitter'. She has obtained funding from the University’s L&T Committee to explore the complex subject of employability skills for business students. The early results helped with the redesign and revalidation of the Accounting Programme during 2013. Currently Julia is looking at Programme Focussed Assessment.
