Students will learn about Cultural Entrepreneurship, The Perils of Privatisation, Politics of Identity, Models of Cultural Policy and policies in Canada, France, Mexico, Russia, Scandinavia, Uzbekistan and the US, among others from Scholar-in-Residence Kevin Mulcahy, Sheldon Beychok Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Louisiana State University. The workshop is in lecture and seminar format, with student discussion and participation. The workshop will move from concepts and models employed by various cultural policy makers and policy states, to the idea of culture as ideology and identity, culminating in cross-cultural comparisons.
