 Call for Papers – closing January 20th 2014

 Creative citizens make new things happen in their communities. Their 
activities are vital to civic life but also to the creative economy, 
where their contribution mostly goes uncounted. They invent new ways of 
delivering music, visual art, film and literature. They come together as 
fans; they make things, sharing space and place.

 The conference is the climax of an 20 month multidisciplinary research 
project, Media, Community and the Creative Citizen which explores the 
dynamics of creative citizenship in the context of digital media. We ask 
how social media are affecting the value and sustainability of creative 
citizenship and, with our community partners around the UK, we 
experiment with co-created media interventions to enhance networks of 
creative citizenship in Bristol, Birmingham & London. The research is 
supported by the AHRC’s Connected Communities programme.  Confirmed 
speakers include  Paola Antonelli, Jean Burgess, John Hartley, Geoff 
Mulgan, and Ian Hargreaves.

 We are looking for conference contributions that include themes or 
topics such as:



Definition of, and critical perspectives on, creative citizenship

Research approaches and methods

Cultural, economic, civic and social values of creative citizenship

Creativity and innovation

Co-production and design

Representation and identity

Inclusion/exclusion

Practices and business models

Role of media literacy and creative skills

Research Ethics

UK and international case studies

The impacts of creative citizenship and its practices: critique, 
evaluation and measurement

Policy and investment.


 We are looking for conference contributions from  arts and humanities 
and social sciences in the form of traditional papers (15 mins) as well 
as informal poster presentations from early career researchers and PhD 
students. The conference will have three tracks and several workshops; 
we will programme two tracks from this call. Please send your abstracts 
to (creativecitizensproject /at/ gmail.com) by 5pm (GMT) on Monday 20th January 
2014. Notifications in March 2014. Hold the date. Booking will be  
available in Feb 2014.
