Research interests

My research is in the broad area of cultural industries and the cultural economy, with a particular focus on labour. I have published widely in cultural policy including two books Cultural Policy, with David Bell in the Routledge Key Ideas in Media and Cultural Studies Series and Culture, Economy & Politics: the case of New Labour, co-authored with David Hesmondhalgh, David Lee and Melissa Nisbett.

On cultural labour, I have been working with colleagues on an SSHRC-funded project entitled, ‘Pathways beyond precarity in the cultural and creative industries: sustainable livelihoods and cultures of solidarity’. See www.culturalworkersorganize.org for more details. I have published on cultural labour over many years including work on: inequality in cultural labour markets; the changing work practices of fine art graduates; the labour market for festivals and events, and the links between community arts, informal education and work. In 2022 I publsihed, The pandemic politics of cultural work: collective responses to the COVID-19 crisis in the International Journal of Cultural Policy, with Greig De Peuter and Madison Trusolino.

I have also been working on co-ops in the cultural industries with funding from the AHRC PEC and the Glasgow-Radboud fund.

I was part of the ESRC research project, the Centre for Understanding Sustainable Prosperity (www.cusp.ac.uk), under which I have developed a steam of work on culture and the environmental crisis. Publications from this include Cultural Industries and the Environmental Crisis, New York, co-edied with Mark Banks and published by Springer in 2020.

Current research includes work on sport and new municipalism.
