Leonor Guedes Soares
PhD studentProfile
I am a PhD Candidate in Accounting at Lancaster University Management School. My research interests lie in the areas of narrative disclosure and corporate communication. I am particularly interested in studying how disclosure regulation shapes firm behavior and generates real effects that impact different stakeholder groups. My supervisors are Professor Steven Young and Dr. Mohamed Ghaly.
I have been a teaching assistant for two undergraduate courses: AcF100 Introduction to Accounting and Finance and AcF212 Principles of Financial Reporting; and two graduate courses: AcF400 Financial Databases and AcF403 Introduction to Accounting. In 2023 and 2024, I was awarded a teaching excellence certificate for my teaching evaluations.
Prior to joining the PhD, I attended Católica Porto Business School (Porto, Portugal), where I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Management and a Master’s degree in Finance.
I will be on the 2024-2025 Academic Job Market. My CV is available for download here.
