New Fellows in Law and Accounting

31 July 2019

We’re delighted to be welcoming two new Associate Professors & Tutorial Fellows to the college in the new academic year, who will contribute to our teaching and research excellence in Law and Economics and Management.

Dr Anette Mikes

Anette is our new Tutorial Fellow in Management & Accounting and Associate Professor in Accounting at the Saïd Business School. She joins us from HEC Lausanne – the business school of the University of Lausanne in Switzerland – where she has been Professor of Management Control since 2014. Prior to this, she was an Assistant Professor at Harvard Business School and a Doctoral Fellow at the London School of Economics, where she completed her PhD and MSc. She read for a BA in Economics at Budapest University of Economic Sciences and previously worked in the City of London.

Anette’s research is focussed on risk management, its control systems and social and organisational practices. She is a two-time winner of Management Accounting Research’s David Solomon Prize for Best Paper, with her 2015 field study How Do Risk Managers Become Influential? and 2009 paper Risk Management and Calculative Cultures. In 2018, she delivered a keynote address on the ethical turn in risk management at Vienna University’s ERMAC conference.

Dr Aruna Nair

Aruna joins Hertford as our new Associate Professor & Tutorial Fellow in Law, having worked for the last six years as a Lecturer in Law at King’s College London. Her research focuses on property law and the control of wealth and she recently authored a monograph on tracing with Oxford University Press – Claims to Traceable Proceeds: Law, Equity and the Control of Assets (2018).

While at King’s, Aruna was Deputy Director of Doctoral Studies for the School of Law and Widening Participation Coordinator, a role in which she developed a new ‘Access to Law’ outreach programme as well as law-specific programmes for The Brilliant Club, an education charity with which Hertford has recently partnered. Aruna completed her DPhil in Law at the University of Oxford, where she researched the doctrinal justification for the contingency of certain private law claims on tracing in English law. Before this, she worked as a Research Assistant at the Law Commission for England and Wales, studied for her LLM at University College London, and read BA Jurisprudence at Oxford. Like our other Fellow in Law, Dr Kate Greasley, Aruna started her education at a state school in Wales.
