We supervise students undertaking research in- The design and delivery of cultural policy and the interpretation of these processes by arts managers and policy makers, The attachment of social policy areas to cultural policy, The social processes of cultural production within institutional settings,, Access, participation and audience development in the arts. The School welcomes applications for research, which are underpinned by empirical and/or theoretical methodologies.
