REVEALING ALL 2: The second annual symposium for research students in
cultural policy and management

The Department of Cultural Policy and Management, City University and
the Department of Drama, MA Arts Management and Cultural Policy,
Goldsmiths College, University of London, are hosting the second annual
research student symposia.
This will take place on 30 November December
2007 in London.

The annual symposia is for research students from all UK universities
with a tradition of research in the fields of cultural policy and
management.

The intention is to provide participating students with the opportunity
to network, collaborate and receive formal feedback from their peers. We
expect the symposium to focus on issues close to the hearts of those who
make cultural policy and promote its implementation in this country.
Papers should include analysis, primary research, comparative case
studies, models of policy-making, impact studies etc. Last year the
event attracted a number of individuals from government and independent
agencies concerned with arts policy who provided feedback on the papers
presented.

We would like to invite abstracts from all research students who are
working in the field. If accepted, participants will be invited to give
a twenty minute presentation on an aspect of their research. The day
will open with a keynote presentation, followed by panels which will be
themed by research topics. These will be chaired by members of staff
from City and Goldsmiths. Feedback will be given by presenters' peers
and members of staff present. We also propose publishing the papers
presented at the symposia, in City University's newly re launched
ejournal, Cultural Policy, Criticism and Management, some of last years
contributions are here and more will follow soon.

a title and their name, address, course, university and email on the
same page by 30th September 2007, addressed to [log in to unmask] .

participants will be notified if they are being invited to give a paper
by 16th of October 2007.
