After Mother's Day brunch my day got a bit crazy, but at least I was able to listen to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

Last was an incredible talk by Paolo Quattrone on the historical roots of accounting and its implications for today at CRASSH. Quattrone dives into the importance of accounting throughout history, the genesis of many modern accounting practices, and how that can help us reconceptualize the field. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ0VeuBV9jE
