ABOUT TASSIANI DOS SANTOS

Tassiani Dos Santos joined the Business School as an Assistant Professor in Accounting in June 2023. Prior to that, she held positions in Brazilian universities as a lecturer in accounting and worked in private corporations and industries for ten years, including automobile, logistics, agricultural production, chemical industries and IT companies, in Brazil and Germany.Tassiani earned her PhD from the University of São Paulo in 2023. Her thesis focused on a Brazilian public university\'s budget ‘dispute’, exploring the positivity of conflict. Besides, she theoretically constructed the paradoxical role of accounting to create consensus and silence plural voices within the organisation, and, at the same time, as an emancipatory technology through learning. She has also developed an international research project around EDI and business school, exploring the experiences of employees and the intersectionality of race, sexuality, and social class. Plus, research on social media as a democratic forum for accountability from the perspective of marginalised groups of stakeholders.Tassiani’s research focuses on enabling plural, social and democratic forms of accounting, exploring issues that affect our contemporary society from plural perspectives, which include marginalised stakeholder groups. Her research is concerned with how accounting or its alternative forms are used by managerial and non-managerial stakeholders to facilitate stakeholder engagement and accountability, organisational decision-making, their everyday operations, and the creation of everyday realities and social forms of exploration.The context explored is often the Brazilian and Latin American realities, giving voices to the margins and often invisible global problems.
