CULP40240 Cultural Policy 3 Arts Lives

Academic Year 2022/2023

Managers and practitioners from a variety of arts and cultural fields are invited to participate in a dialogue with students on their areas of expertise and their personal career paths in the cultural sector. Group discussion of the issues raised is encouraged so that students can gain deeper insights into the nature of management from experienced practitioners. This module has two objectives: firstly, to give students an insight into policy and practice in cultural sector management; secondly, to encourage students to reflect upon the particular qualities that make for a successful career as a manager and leader in the cultural sector. Students are also encouraged to draw upon concepts and insights gained from the Management module already delivered in the Autumn trimester.
