/Who fits in the creative world? /How Higher Education practices
mirror and perpetuate inequalities in the arts and cultural sector

The Institute for Policy Studies in Education at London Metropolitan
University is proud to present a seminar critically examining practices
within two areas of Higher Education arts and cultural disciplines —
*student work placements* and *admissions* — and how these relate to
inequalities in the sector itself. Findings from two recent research
studies will be presented. The seminar will provide a critical
discussion of processes of exclusion experienced by students seeking a
career within the sector in relation to social class, ethnicity, gender
and disability.
