Colleagues from a number of Australian Universities are proposing a fully-fledged national research association for those researching in the field of cultural policy in Australia. There is a need to reassemble research from across the disciplines of media and cultural studies, arts management, cultural and creative industries, digital humanities, artificial intelligence, creative labour studies, journalism and many more, into a space of collective conversation.
As a first step, we are calling on researchers across Australia to sign up to a mailing list. This will allow us to communicate about future plans and already start the work of sharing information about the proposed association as well as about events and information relevant to our research community.
