Centring the audience: Attitudes and behaviours in Australian arts organisations
Many arts organisations seek to increase the diversity of their audiences. Recent literature suggests that this requires organisations to interrogate and change their ways of operating. This is a fundamental shift for a sector that has long considered the goal of diversifying audiences as a problem external to the organisation. Responding to this discrepancy, this article compares attitudes and behaviours among workers in arts organisations, to i…
Precarity and second job-holding in the creative economy
There is extensive research on creative occupations, problematising precariousness, pay gaps, unpaid work and other issues. Less research, and little quantitative work, has looked at multiple job-holding. Issues including portfolio careers, moonlighting, “slashies” and side-hustles are emblematic, and core to the discourse surrounding the creative economy. We use the UK's Labour Force Survey to analyse the extent of multiple job-holding in creati…
Where are the working class in the British film industry? Data from the British Film Institute
A range of research, including analyses of quantitative data, has demonstrated the existence of inequalities for women and people of colour in the screen sector’s workforce. There has been less data collection in relation to class inequalities, and therefore less analysis of this aspect of the workforce. This paper considers this historic absence of data relating to class and considers a new source of data. Analysis of applicants to the British F…
How people connect fairness and equity when they talk about data uses
As a mechanism for addressing data-related harms, fairness has been subjected to considerable criticism, seen as failing to acknowledge the power relationships that produce said harms, or as a ‘floating signifier’ devoid of specific meaning. In contrast to fairness, it is argued that equity does a better job of recognising data-related harms. Criticisms such as these emerge in specific cultural contexts and rarely acknowledge everyday understandi…
Reflections from members of a collaborative social work practitioner–academic research team investigating the career progression experiences of black social workers
This article shares the reflections of members of a collaborative practitioner–academic research team in social work. The team investigated the career progression experiences of black social workers working in statutory social work services in South-East London. Our intention in this article is to share our experience of researching a subject that holds emotional and political resonance. We do so by offering individual perspectives from different…

Collecting and classifying data on audience identity: The cultural background of festival audiences
This article investigates the issues and tensions involved in collecting data from audiences to describe their diversity. It uses data collected as part of a survey of festival audiences to examine (1) how people choose to describe their identity in an open-text question and (2) how classifying complex responses to questions about ethnic or cultural background has implications for analysis. First, data provided through an open-text question in th…
Social Mobility and 'Openness' in Creative Occupations since the 1970s
Social mobility in the cultural sector is currently an important issue in government policy and public discussion, associated with perceptions of a collapse in numbers of working-class origin individuals becoming artists, actors, musicians and authors. The question of who works in creative occupations has also attracted significant sociological attention. To date, however, there have been no empirically grounded studies into the changing social c…
Cultural governance within and across cities and regions: Evidence from the English publicly funded arts sector
There are significant inequalities in the publicly funded arts sector in England, including significant spatial inequalities. If anything, the critique of spatial inequalities in this ecology do not go far enough. This article uses a unique dataset of the boards of directors of Arts Council England’s national portfolio, derived from Companies House. While a majority of national portfolio organisations do not share board members with any other org…
Systematic review: Acculturation strategies and their impact on the mental health of migrant populations
Cultural Consumption and Covid-19: Evidence from the Taking Part and Covid-19 Cultural Participation Monitor surveys
How did cultural consumption change during the Covid-19 pandemic? Whilst the impact of the pandemic on cultural production has been given significant attention, work on consumption has seen less attention (Roberts 2020 on leisure time notwithstanding). This paper addresses this gap in the literature by presenting a comparative analysis of two, nationally representative, surveys of cultural activity in England. The analysis demonstrates that, when…

The coming crisis of cultural engagement? Measurement, methods, and the nuances of niche activities
Do ticketing data and national survey data on attendance tell the same story? This question is particularly important in the context of debates over the power of new forms of data to supplant the “traditional” survey methods that have underpinned our understanding of the social stratification of culture. This paper compares three data sources on attendance: the Active Lives Survey, the Taking Part Survey, and Audience Finder. We first compare sel…
There was no golden age: Social mobility into cultural and creative occupations
Cultural and creative industries are currently narrated as one of the greatest forces for openness and social mobility that Britain has (Hancock 2016). However, there is little, if any, evidence to support this position. Recent research has suggested the creative and cultural occupations are dominated by those from professional or managerial backgrounds (O’Brien et al 2016, Oakley et al 2017), with cultural theorists arguing this reflects declini…
Divergent patterns of experimental and model-derived permafrost ecosystem carbon dynamics in response to Arctic warming
In the last few decades, temperatures in the Arctic have increased twice as much as the rest of the globe. As permafrost thaws in response to this warming, large amounts of soil organic matter may become vulnerable to decomposition. Microbial decomposition will release carbon (C) from permafrost soils, however, warmer conditions could also lead to enhanced plant growth and C uptake. Field and modeling studies show high uncertainty in soil and pla…
Subjective well-being in cultural advocacy: A Politics of Research Between the Market and the Academy
This paper responds to a trend of contracting out subjective well-being econometrics to demonstrate social return on investment (SROI) for evidence-based policy-making. We discuss an evolving ecology of ‘external’ research taking place ‘between’ the academy and commercial consultancy. We then contextualise this as waves of research methodologies and consultancy for the cultural sector. The new model of ‘external between’ consultancy research for …

Nonparticipation or different styles of participation? Alternative interpretations from Taking Part
In England, the Taking Part Survey is the dominant source of information on participation and its relationship with social stratification. Existing work that investigates state-supported culture implies often large groups of people “not currently engaged” in culture. The scope of this survey allows us to identify not only what else those “highly engaged” are doing, but also whether those “not currently engaged” are active elsewhere. Using this su…

P2-482 Evaluating a school based RCT to reduce gender-based violence among high school students in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (SA)
Gender-based violence is a public health problem in South Africa associated with increased risk of HIV infection. KwaZulu-Natal is the epicentre of the HIV epidemic in South Africa with youth of 15–24 years at high risk of infection. A school based RCT aimed to develop, implement and evaluate an intervention to reduce gender-based violence, defined as verbal (belittling), physical (hitting) and sexual (forced sex) abuse, among grade 9 students. S…

The Product-Cycle Model: A Critique
The product-cycle model is an important explanatory device that has been used extensively in geography. However, it is also a model with significant limiting assumptions that have not been adequately taken into account when it has been used. In this paper the problems and limitations imposed on the model by the assumptions it contains are outlined. Six broad aspects of the model are addressed: the ambiguity of the enterprise context implied in th…
An Early Iron Age Farmstead: Site Q of the Assendelver Polders Project
The Assendelver Polders, 20 km west-north-west of Amsterdam (fig. 1), consist of some 2000 ha of typically flat Dutch polder landscape, treeless and cut by hundreds of drainage ditches, primarily in use for grazing. Observations by amateur archaeologists and a few small excavations have shown that the area was relatively densely populated during the period 2150 bp to 1750 bp. There were also indications for occupation around 2500 bp. The site dis…
The Psychological and Behavioural Bases of Islamic Fundamentalism
This article explores psychological and behavioural issues that may help our understanding of some important contemporary developments in Islam.

The Iron Age Enclosures and Prehistoric Landscape of Sutton Common, South Yorkshire
The Early Iron Age enclosures and associated sites on Sutton Common on the western edge of the Humberhead Levels contain an exceptional variety of archaeological data of importance not only to the region but for the study of later prehistory in the British Isles. Few other later prehistoric British sites outside the East Anglian fens and the Somerset Levels have thus far produced the quantity and quality of organically preserved archaeological ma…

Silenced by God – an examination of unique characteristics within sexual abuse by clergy
Sexual abuse by clergy appears to create unique trauma characteristics, where distinctions exist between this and other types of perpetrated sexual abuse. These distinctions are based upon the hypothesis that sexual abuse by clergy is different rather than worse. Such traumatic experiences, as well as clerical perpetrators using ‘God’ as a silencing strategy, has the potential to shatter survivor‘s religious beliefs in a variety of ways, creating…
