The Handbook of Cultural Work

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. Across six sections, the book includes over 30 contributions from a range of authors - from cultural practitioners in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, based on direct experience in the field, as well as theoretical analyses of these areas by academics, curators, and independent researchers. The book is essential reading for students of arts and cultural management, management in other creative industries, and curation.
