Beyond the Campus: Higher Education, Cultural Policy and the Creative Economy

Special Issue: International Journal of Cultural Policy

Editors: Abigail Gilmore & Roberta Comunian 

Announcing new publication: Special Edition International Journal of Cultural Policy - Beyond the Campus: Higher Education, Cultural Policy and the Creative Economy, Volume 22, Issue 1, 2016 - Guest Editors: Abigail Gilmore and Roberta Comunian 
This special issue addresses the interconnections between Higher Education, Cultural Policy and the Creative Economy, drawing on the findings from the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council funded international research network which looked at the platforms, practices and shared spaces ‘beyond the campus’. 
 
These activities feature collaboration between individuals and networks from the different sectors, involved in teaching, curriculum and policy development, research and knowledge exchange. They have become the focus of policy debates through their central role in stimulating innovation, creative and cultural clusters, sector development and graduate employability as well as their broader contribution to economic development and regeneration. They sit at the crossroads of different policy fields, namely cultural policy (involving the explicit support and development of the creative and cultural sector), higher education policy (including skills and curriculum development, but also fees structures and widening participation) and work and economic development policies (concerning, for example, employment regulation and business support).
 
This special issue aims to critically engage with and reflect on the interplay between these different spheres, featuring research articles from a range of international perspectives, from the UK,  Australia, Singapore and mainland Europe, and two book reviews.
