This seminar explores silence and melancholia as psychic effects of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) policies in diverse accounting spaces. Drawing from research that investigates the psychic effects of EDI policies and practices on a queer accounting academic, focusing on Miguel’s experiences as a black and gay subject in a normative accounting space.
