| Inaugural Speaker Series Event |
September 2019 marked the first event in our CCA Speaker Series. Professor Geoffrey Crossick gave a captivating presentation on how we discuss the value of arts and culture. This was drawn from the work he carried out for the Cultural Value Project, an initiative he directed for the UK’s Arts & Humanities Research Council.
Geoffrey's presentation was held in high esteem by our faculty, students, and our other attendees. He will always be welcomed back to share the important work he does for the field of cultural affairs. |

| Workshops in Cultural Affairs |
This past Fall marked the launch of our internal workshop series. Our weekly workshops allow us to highlight important research in cultural affairs conducted at the O'Neill School and the greater Indiana University community. In addition to our regular weekly sessions, we have begun hosting special presentations highlighting the work of individual scholars.
We had the great pleasure of hosting presentations by former NEA chairman and CCA advisory board member, Bill Ivey and our affiliated post-doc, Candace Miller on her paper, "Cultural Dimensions of Place Stratification: The Absence of Arts Organizations in Minority-Segregated Neighborhoods".
This Spring we will continue to grow this series in our mission to promote research and collaboration in cultural affairs. We also look forward to upcoming presentations by CCA director, Michael Rushton and affiliated post-doc, Tal Feder in the coming months. |
