A short online course led by Dave O’Brien and Kirsten Lloyd for the Scottish Graduate School of Arts and Humanities Cultural and Museum Studies Discipline+ Catalyst (2020).
How can research engage with practitioners, policy makers, and the public to foster social change? Aimed at doctoral students, this course will encourage you to consider your research in the context of this important question. It draws from the expertise of those delivering arts and cultural policy, an area of importance for arts and humanities graduates; those working in cultural institutions, with a particular focus on those engaged in activism and social change; and academics working on public and related ‘impact’ projects.
Contributors include: Nick Bibby (Scottish Policy and Research Exchange), Clive Gillman (Creative Scotland), Helen Graham (University of Leeds), Adele Patrick (Glasgow Women’s Library) and Alberta Whittle (Artist).
