The Next Generation of Cultural Research: Building New Cultural Intelligence for 21st Century Problems

SYMPOSIUM: Creative Suburbia: Cultural Research and Suburban Geographies
29-30 September, 2010
QUT, Kelvin Grove Campus, Brisbane
The symposium will provide a space to share research and perspectives while collectively exploring issues around understandings of suburbia and suburban life, in ways that both enhance scholarship and can contribute to public policy debates, fostering research connections around the broad and important area of suburban studies, as a site for innovative and applied cultural research.
----------------------------------
Culture, Arts and Innovation
Friday 8 October
The Glasshouse, Z2, Level 4, Creative Industries Precinct, Queensland University of Technology, Kelvin Grove
Culture and the arts have rarely seen themselves, or been seen, as part of a national innovation system. On the other hand, the sector does see itself as intrinsically innovative, creating new works routinely and challenging accepted ways of seeing, thinking and acting. There is a large gap between the way culture and the arts see themselves and formal innovation frameworks, policy and programs. This seminar will seek to advance the emerging national discussion linking culture, arts and innovation.
