Professor Kate Suslava serves in the Accounting & Financial Management department at Bucknell University's Freeman College of Management. Holding a doctorate in accounting alongside credentials as a licensed CPA and Chartered Financial Analyst, she brings industry experience from Ernst & Young and Hearst Communications to her teaching.
Her research uniquely bridges linguistics and finance, investigating how corporate executives' verbal communication patterns directly impact financial markets. Notable studies examine euphemism usage in earnings calls (e.g., 'hit speed bumps' correlating with 3-month stock declines) and trade war rhetoric affecting stock volatility. She emphasizes practical application of accounting knowledge, noting students gain immediately usable financial analysis skills within one academic year.
Suslava leverages her background as an immigrant and former English-language instructor to connect with students, describing Bucknell's community as filled with 'very active, very involved' future leaders. Her teaching philosophy centers on merging theoretical concepts with real-world practice while addressing current accounting topics students need for professional readiness.
