Project

Working with interdisciplinary colleagues interested in the role of culture and creativity in the economic regeneration of towns and cities. I will be developing new research avenues for understanding the role of cultural governance in building local capacity for meaningful local regeneration. This work will be informed by interviews and social network data gathered from interviews conducted prior to the residency and explores inequities of power created by the creative city model.
