Where do Lean Accounting guru's teach?

In my search for the best Accounting PhD program for my research interests (Continuous Improvement and metrics that drive behaviour that respects others and improvements constantly to reduce cost but maintain quality), I looked up the Lean Accounting guru's who I have been exposed to during The Shingo Prize conference in May of 2009 and the Lean Accounting Summit in August of 2008.

1. Brian Maskell teaches at times at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. http://www.maskell.com/lean_accounting/subpages/people/brian_maskell.html

2. Jean Cunningham teaches at Ohio State University (http://www.jeancunninghamconsulting.com/Staff.html)(interesting that her bio is promoted on an accountant and business consulting website at http://www.rubinbrown.com/)...

 3. Rosemary Fullerton teaches a Cost Management Systems to Support World-Class Operations class at USU. In 2010, she and a PhD student were presented a Lean Enterprise Institute for helping bring the principles and practices of lean accounting into higher education. http://www.lean.org/WhoWeAre/LEINewsStory.cfm?NewsArticleId=135
