Laura Maran is an Associate Professor in Accounting at the University of Trento (Italy) and joint editor of Accounting History, a leading international journal in the field. In 2020, she was honoured 'Australia's research field leader in Economic History' by The Australian and her co-authored publication 'Of power, knowledge and method: The influence of Michel Foucault in accounting history' received the 2024 Robert W. Gibson Manuscript Award by AFAANZ (Accounting and Finance Association of Australia and New Zealand). As former Deputy Head (of School) Research and Innovation at RMIT University (Australia), in
2018-2019, she contributed to driving the agenda of next-generation research topics in interdisciplinary qualitative accounting. Her research seeks to contextualise contemporary public sector management practices by using accounting history to identify the legacy of earlier reforms. This work shows, often for the first time, how a historical perspective on the field of New Public Management can provide new ways to examine contemporary public policy. It also allows scholars and policy-makers to evaluate the economic and social outcomes of public sector reforms, where accounting has an ideological, political and ethical instrumentality. Laura publishes in Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal (of which she is an editorial board member), Financial Accountability & Management, The British Accounting Review and Critical Perspectives on Accounting, among others, focussing on different types of public organisations and accounting history-related issues.
The paper is situated within the field of Accounting History and, more specifically, within the stream of research examining the relationships between accounting, art, and cultural heritage. The paper examines the contribution of cultural management to the conservation of historical and artistic legacies, highlighting the role of management and accountability mechanisms in the preservation and long-term sustainability of cultural heritage
