Dr. Jonathan Tweedie is a Lecturer in the Accounting and Finance Division at Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, where he joined in 2022. His position places him within one of the UK's leading business schools with a strong research focus on critical perspectives in accounting.
Dr. Tweedie's research interests center on critiquing the assumed power of accounting to shape organizations and society. He examines how accounting practices act as instruments of power that reproduce inequalities and hierarchies. His work specifically focuses on identifying the 'misfirings' of accounting—situations where accounting proves less powerful than commonly assumed. His research portfolio includes studies of environmental reporting, performance measurement systems, accountability mechanisms, tax practices, and transparency disclosures.
His recent publications reveal a consistent engagement with critical theory, drawing on thinkers like Slavoj Žižek, Theodor Adorno, Pierre Bourdieu, and Wendy Brown. His work spans multiple high-impact journals including Critical Perspectives on Accounting, Organization Studies, and Public Administration, demonstrating interdisciplinary reach across accounting, sociology, and political science. His research particularly engages with themes of ideology, UK political economy, wealth distribution, and democratic processes.
Dr. Tweedie is actively involved in PhD supervision, seeking students interested in critical and interdisciplinary projects that apply critical theory, philosophy, and sociology to examine accounting's role in organizations and society. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to reducing inequality and promoting just institutions.
