*Parris · Voice & Silence · Lund University (thesis) · 2023 · Open access*

Phenomenological thesis examining accountability as a dynamic interplay between external expectations and inner experience. Defines accountability as a felt, relational obligation — distinguishing it from mere responsibility — and argues it operates in three dimensions: relational/experiential, distinguished from responsibility, and as a tool for learning and control. Applied to maritime safety contexts.
