This is an opportunity to hear about new research from students and international researchers, to discover new and interesting ways of thinking about how arts and cultural events and programmes happen and how we can share arts management practice from around the world.

The event will include a pre-recorded 2021 Showcase of the exciting, new student research in Arts and Cultural Industries Management and Cultural Policy, followed by talks by international speakers and will highlight the work of Dr Raphaela Henze of Heilbronn University, Germany and Dr Federico Escribal of Universidad Nacional de las Artes, Argentina. Drawing on their new book Cultural Management and Policy in Latin America, they will offer valuable learning on how cultural managers in Latin America negotiate the political and economic challenges and the omnipresent legacy of colonialism in contemporary cultural work and organisations.

This event will be led by Dr Ali FitzGibbon, lecturer on the MA in Arts Management at Queen’s University Belfast and will be hosted on Zoom with closed captions. Support for sign language interpretation is also available.
