Bournemouth University will host Women and Leadership in the Creative Industries: An Inter-disciplinary Symposium next week at the Executive Business Centre on the Lansdowne Campus (12-13 September) with an online pre-symposium on 10th.
This symposium will address women’s leadership in the creative industries, taking into account the very broad definition of the term in an industrial ecosystem characterised by its dependence on freelance workers and micro-businesses alongside more traditional institutions. Its scope will encompass routes into leadership and associated barriers as well as concepts of creative entrepreneurial, as well as institutional leadership.
It brings together contributions from a range of disciplines including music, theatre, dance, media industries, gender studies and business and management studies. It is our hope that by sharing diverse perspectives on women and leadership in the creative industries, participants will make new discoveries, form new, inter-disciplinary alliances and open up this under-explored topic to a wider audience – including stakeholders in the industries themselves.
BU students and staff are welcome to drop in on the keynotes and panels – no need to register, but please participate on a self-catering basis. You can find the programme, together with abstracts, biographies and the log in details for the online component, on our website.
