Welcome
Welcome to the 'Co-producing Cultural Policy' project website. Here's a bit more info about the rationale for the project:
Tim Blackman writes that policy research should be undertaken “not as a detached academic exercise but as a process co-produced with practitioners and their ‘case work’, whether individuals, organisations or places” (Blackman, 2013). This theme of co-production forms the basis of two cross-disciplinary workshops in Leeds and Warwick, aimed at postgraduates and early career researchers. Bringing together university partners, the Heritage Lottery Fund and Arts Council England, the workshops will explore collaborative approaches to the formulation of cultural policy, addressing key questions and concerns currently affecting policy planning in the UK.
With a strong focus on partnership building, postgraduate networking and research skills, the interactive workshops will provide a forum for cultural policy experts and researchers to share and exchange processes of working. They will be structured around the relationship between research, public engagement and policymaking, focusing firstly on participation and cultural policy decision-making and secondly on cultural value. Through these workshops postgraduates and early career researchers can start to position themselves within the field, developing academic networks beyond their home institutions, as well as networks within the sector.
