Dear Sir/Madam,
 
We invite you to attend an inaugural lecture to celebrate Leila Jancovich becoming Professor in Cultural Policy and Participation in the School of Performance and Cultural Industries at the University of Leeds.

The event will take place on 20th Feb, at 4:00 p.m. in Stage one, Stage@Leeds, University of Leeds.
 
Her inaugural lecture titled A LIFETIME OF FAILURE will be followed by a drinks reception. It is free but please register at https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketsource.co.uk%2Fstageleeds-university-of-leeds%2Fprofessor-leila-jancovich-inaugural-lecture%2F2023-02-20%2F16%3A00%2Ft-kryyyyl&data=05%7C01%7Cl.jancovich%40LEEDS.AC.UK%7C9c24f4ccc1b44aceef5708dafb20aa30%7Cbdeaeda8c81d45ce863e5232a535b7cb%7C1%7C0%7C638098415223654694%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=hY4uGBTMWnhzfLh3Cemnfk3yqrEmMWBnKBD88DSoATk%3D&reserved=0
 
Leila worked in the cultural sector as a producer and arts consultant before entering academia.  She has since become a leading voice in research on cultural participation, examining not only the inequalities in who gets to participate but also who gets to decide what forms and processes of cultural participation are seen as of value and by whom. 
 
Her lecture will begin with a reflection on how she fell into the cultural sector almost by accident and how the subsequent failure to make the difference she wanted to, in her professional life, has shaped her research ever since. She will discuss her key insights from the past ten years of researching cultural participation, before introducing findings from her new open access book, Failures in Cultural Participation  co-written with Professor David Stevenson and published by Palgrave Macmillan.
 
Future planned inaugural lectures include Professor Joslin McKinney on 27th April and Professor George Rodosthenous on 7th June.
