The Globalization and World City Research Centre (GaWC), based in the
Geography Department at Loughborough University is hosting a workshop for
young researchers and postgraduates on the creative economy and the city on
the 28th April 2010 at Loughborough University. We will be looking for
presentations that explore the role of the creative economy in the production of
cities through globalization, and the outcomes that this has on those who occupy
the urban environment. Please email [log in to unmask] or
[log in to unmask] to submit an abstract for presentation (no more than 250
words) and the deadline is the 5th March 2010.
On the day of the workshop, GaWC will also host their annual lecture, which this
year will be delivered by Andy C Pratt, Professor of Culture, Media and the
Economy from the Centre for Culture, Media and Creative Industries (CMCI) at
King’s College London. Professor Pratt is a leading academic and international
policy advisor on cities and the creative economy and his talk will complement the
themes of the workshop.
