*Call for papers: **inequalities and diversity in the arts and creative industries*

*Thursday 16^th January 2025, The Shell (and hybrid), Birmingham City University, UK*

In studies of cultural work, there has been increased attention on inequalities and lack of diversity in recent years, particularly in relation to the workforce and representation in the media (Banks, 2017; Saha, 2018; Nwonka and Malik, 2018; Brook, O’Brien et al, 2020). There has been increasing evidence of the structural inequalities built into the fabric of the arts and media industries, which affect who gets to work in the sector and what types of culture gets to be made.

These conditions have only been exacerbated by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (Comunian and England, 2020) and ongoing economic and political uncertainty. Research which is attentive to these challenges locally and globally has never been more important. We are particularly interested in Global Majority experiences and perspectives on cultural work, representation and production, and international perspectives.

We are looking for proposals within (but not limited to) the following areas:

  * Inequalities in the creative workforce
  * Creative education and accessible pathways into creative work
  * Experiences of creative work
  * Postcolonial and indigenous perspectives and methodologies
  * Underrepresentation in the arts and the media
  * Intersectionality in the arts and creative industries
  * Platform work and media democracy in relation to inequalities
  * Cultural policy and addressing inequalities
  * Precarity and sustainability in creative work

We also welcome creative and practice responses.

Please send an abstract or a description of your response, of no more than 500 words with a biography of up to 100 words to Rebecca Madden (rebecca.madden /at/ bcu.ac.uk) <mailto:(rebecca.madden /at/ bcu.ac.uk)>by *Thursday 31^st October 2024 6pm*. If you have any questions about the conference or wish to discuss your proposal please contact Dr Karen Patel, co-lead of CEDIA at (karen.patel /at/ bcu.ac.uk). <mailto:(karen.patel /at/ bcu.ac.uk)>
