An early evening event exploring the future of the creative industries in the light of major changes to education within the arts. Academics, policy makers, and creative professionals will present papers and then come together with the audience to discuss the issues raised. Speakers include:
Senior Lecturer, Centre for Cultural Policy & Management, City University, London
Dr Oakley's research interests cover the creative industries, regional development, cultural policy and cultural labour markets. She has been working in these areas for over a decade, following careers in journalism, market research and the civil service. Her work on the creative industries developed alongside an interest in place and in how post-industrial economic development was changing British towns and cities. Work and labour issues in the cultural industries also remain a prime concern and the subject of several recent publications including Art Works published by the Arts Council (2009) and 'In its own image: New Labour and the Cultural Workforce', forthcoming in a special issue of Cultural Trends.
