This conference seeks possibilities for a new policy agenda for the 
cultural economy, defined broadly as that set of practices, institutions 
and ‘imaginaries’ involved in the production and consumption of culture. 
The easy, “win-win” links made between culture and economy are no longer 
so straightforward in a post-GFC world of climate-change. Rather than 
seeking ‘economic impact’, a radical agenda for the cultural economy 
might re-assert its ethical-political imperative to challenge the 
injustices and dysfunctions of the ‘economic’. How might new approaches 
to the cultural economy help us re-frame cultural policy for the next 
decade?

Keynote Speaker: Professor David Hesmondhalgh, University of Leeds
