The Handbook of Cultural Work

Herausgeber: Carras, Christos

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This open access handbook explores the increasingly cross-disciplinary nature of cultural work and assesses how it engages with other fields, such as: education, research, and health; as well as the defining issues of our time such as the climate emergency, the quest for sustainable development, discrimination of all kinds, and the need for achieving greater inclusivity. Each of the book's six sections includes contributions from scholars and practitioners from across Europe based both on their experience of working in and a theoretical analysis of these areas. The book is essential reading for students of arts and cultural management, management in other creative industries, and curation. The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by The Onassis Foundation, Greece.
