Kathie sees developing students' research skills by requiring them to go through archives to find information about particular events, examining these from historical, political, and sociological perspectives.

She uses past and current media reports on accounting practices with a set of structured questions to help students to understand

• how principles work in practice
• how practices have evolved (or not) over time
• the power relations, who was heard and who was silenced, who was emancipated and who lost out

Kathie encourages student voice in the classroom, particularly that of overseas students by asking them to compare practices in Australia with those in their own countries. In this way she extends her own professional knowledge and that of the students. She believes students do become aware of the different locations in which knowledge is constructed as well as learning to look at issues from multiple perspectives.
