Abstract

This editorial explores the idea of ‘place’ as an active educator in accounting education, emphasizing the role of diverse metropolitan locations in shaping student learning. Through the Sustainable Futures Hackathon - Hacking Place in Accounting, global accounting educators engaged with six unique case sites to collaboratively develop learning materials that integrate accounting with local contexts. Findings highlight that place-based education is a student-centered approach that fosters authentic learning, promotes autonomy, and connects academic concepts with practical applications in real-world settings.
