The preliminary programme of our cecond research workshop: Higher education,
communities and cultural regeneration taking place at the University of Brighton on the 10th April 2013 is now available online
The workshop examines how higher education institutions contribute to local socio-cultural and economic regeneration through processes, initiatives and projects which involve cultural and creative elements or strategies. It will explore the effects of these partnerships and consider how projects involving higher education institutions and local cultural and regeneration partners might re-shape local communities and economies in both positive and negative ways, for example, through gentrification. It will explore how local communities are engaged within the process, the roles they play, and the relationships, tensions and exchanges of knowledge between higher education, local communities and policy makers in the practice of regeneration. It will also look at the impact of higher
education intervention in local regeneration from economic, social and skills
perspectives.
