I am pleased to report that I have been appointed as Professor of Accounting at Sheffield University Management School for the next two years.
I have been a visiting professor at Sheffield for about a year now. This new appointment, which is for a day a week, will upgrade that arrangement. I will be teaching. And I hope that I will contribute to the School's research and impact programmes as well, working with existing colleagues Prof Adam Leaver and Prof Andrew Baker, who are both based at Sheffield, and new colleagues as well.
There is, thankfully, a through train from Ely to Sheffield. I hope to be having time on it. Face to face teaching is the objective. It will be good to be doing it again.
Thanks for reading this post.

Is that via Peterborough, Grantham Nottingham and Derby by any chance?
I’ll look out for you if it is?
And congratulations BTW.
It is that, excepting Derby I think
And thanks
Congratulations! or should I say ‘llongfarchiadau’?
🙂
Maybe not in Sheffield!
hardly great for the environment all that travel for a few lectures?..principles out of the window when some cash is on the table eh ?
I will only be going if there is face to face reaching
And you may be aware that universities are very cautious
With respect, stop being stupid, I suggest
With all due respect to RM I doubt they’ll be putting on a special train just for him. And the additional environmental cost of him riding the scheduled service is ? Correct: zero.
Congratulations, Richard.
Thanks
Hearty congratulations!
Very glad that you have got this post – from your writings sounds like you will enjoy it. I hope you have some fun teaching face to face.
Thanks
You had better like 158’s (Or is it 170’s these days)
Congratulations though, pity most of the lecturing will be in the winter so you wont get to enjoy the scenery.
Not much clue which unit is which these days….
I’d have liked a D16/3
A D16/3……hmmm – up to Nottingham (or Leicester?) perhaps but then it would have to be at least an LMS maroon Midland 4-4-0 Compound to Sheffield and return. I mean its only proper after all.
I think they did do Peterborough East to Leicester in the 50s
I have a Compound on the shelf behind me in 7mm
🙂
You taliking about trains? Seriously weird
Why?
Have you no hobbies or interests?
Ooops – the secret’s out! I can see the headlines now in the Right-wing Press:
‘The enemy within: Mad Railway Enthusiast Cell seeks to bring social justice and ethics in accounting to Britain.’
‘What could be the worst threat to our freedom in a generation has been discovered blah, blah…..’.
I can see it now: Shitti Patel outlawing the ownership of Ian Allan books, model railways, anoraks and having to register at your local police station alongside the resident paedophile.
I have only one concern about the handsome GER D16/3 – given that they worked over a relatively flat landscape, how would they cope with some of the banks on the Midland up to Sheffield as you are skirting the Peak District on your way to Sheffield?
Better than a Compound with the same size wheels!
Congratulations Richard; please keep the pressure on for changes to financial reporting.
I will!
Richard,
Well done. A good university in my home town. It seems the only way I could get to meet you is to join your class. Joking – but what is the topic specifically?,
Actually, that’s still under discussion
It may be third year undergraduate tax
It may be Masters students accounting
Congratulations Richard.
There is wonderful landscape literally on the University doorstep. As well as one of Sheffield’s 13 Green Party Councillors I help run The Ponderosa Nature Group. Check out our facebook page. It’s an inner city habitat improvement project. The woodland is beautiful (we spent our first year clearing industrial scale fly tipping) and we are planting woodland plants and flowers within it. It incorporates a community orchard, plenty of birds and areas of grass that, in cooperation with the park keepers, is experimenting with periods where large parts of the park is being left for nature. It is becoming an integrated part of the neighbourhood. If you have five minutes just sit out and enjoy the tranquillity. Our group is out and about on a Thursday morning and gravitate to thebcoommunity orchard,
The Greens hold three of the ten cabinet posts on the City Council..including the one on climate change and the environment. The city is in No Overall Control and has a Cooperative governance arrangement with Labour and The Green Party. The City is set to be zero carbon by 2030…a very tall order. We would welcome your thoughts on developing a city wide Sustainable accounting system. Also how Sheffield can fund the transition.
Thank you again for your talk on a Green New Deal you did for us in the run up to the May City Council elections.
Cllr Bernard Little.
Bernard
I will look out for it
And if I am there on Thursdays, well, maybe we could meet?
Best
Richard
My God Daughter is doing Medicine in Sheffield, perhaps something to broaden the education of all students not just the accountants or economists?
Congratulations Richard. Well deserved. Enjoy to the full!
Thank you
