This expansive Handbook guides readers through a multi-layered
landscape of the interpretations and uses of transdisciplinary
thinking and practices worldwide. It advances understanding of the
strengths and limits of transdisciplinary research in the context
of societal power relations, institutional structures and social
inequalities. Original chapters from 116 scholars and experts in 27
countries create a multi-cultural constellation of conceptual and
methodological approaches to transdisciplinary research, teaching,
training and community projects, showcasing the diversity and
plurality of transdisciplinary contributions. Framed through the
core themes of thinking, doing and being, this Handbook thoroughly
reviews key topics including philosophies and theories, research
and practice, education and training and financial and
institutional resources with examples from innovative
transdisciplinary global projects. Inclusive in its approach, this
Handbook will be an ideal resource for public and private domain
professionals wishing to explore collaborative working practices.
Scholars looking for a better understanding of transdisciplinarity
and how it differs from interdisciplinarity will find the case
studies illustrative and informative.

For more than 70 years, William Paton contributed his considerable
energy and knowledge to the development of accounting thought. He
was one of the early accounting educators to express the high
purpose of accounting and its importance in the university, and he
was among the early theorists in accounting to argue that
accounting needed a coherent, theoretical structure that would
guide the accountant in preparing financial statements. Yet a full
account of his life, career, and ideas has not yet appeared. Kelly
L. Williams and Howard J. Lawrence address this gap, painting an
intimate and comprehensive portrait of this deeply influential
figure. Their groundbreaking study not only explores major
influences on Paton's thoughts on accounting, but also shows how
Paton was an active participant in the professional accounting
organizations of his day, how early on he urged the societies to
conduct research to develop a consistent and rational body of
knowledge, and how, with other early scholars, he was instrumental
in developing the first issues of The Accounting Review-a beginning
that helped make the Review the outstanding publication it is
today. Ultimately, the authors demonstrate why Paton received
practically every major honor an accounting educator could receive,
including recognition in 1987 by the AICPA as the "Educator of the
Century." As the only comprehensive study of Paton's life and
thought, this is a must-have for graduate students of accountancy
and researchers of accounting history and theory, and it is of keen
interest to anyone who wishes to develop their own research
methodology and pedagogy through a study of one of the greatest
thinkers and educators in the history of accountancy.
This book examines the role of compassion in refiguring the
university. Plotting a reimagining of the university through care,
other-regard, and a commitment to act in response to the suffering
of others, the author draws on various humanities disciplines to
illuminate the potential of compassion in the campus. The book asks
how the sector can reclaim the university from the tides of
neoliberalism, inequalities and increased workloads, and which
moral principles and competencies would need to be championed and
instilled to build inclusive citizenship and positive connection
with others. A value that is too scarcely taught, experienced, or
advocated in contexts of higher education, compassion is reframed
as an essential pillar of the university and a means to an
epistemically just campus and curricula.
