Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I'd had quite a bit of trouble working out why facilitating participation in museums was tricky so I wrote a book about it. @uclpress.bsky.social @fahacs.bsky.social

Abstract vs actual paper

Thanks for a great lecture this morning @dotfinan.bsky.social in @aliceborchi.bsky.social module on researching the global cultural industries. We had a very interesting conversation in seminar about the different domains of research ethics and where researcher integrity fits in.

@1000plateaus.bsky.social 's lecture on repatriation was such a high point in the module - it was great to have someone who has first-hand experience of these processes and a nuanced understanding of the power relations that shape them!

AND new @creativepec.bsky.social report dropped today too, with ind with analysis of the employer skills survey and detailed policy recommendations too pec.ac.uk/state_of_the...
