Global Events Congress IV: Festivals and Events Research: State of the Art
The Global
Events Congress IV: Festivals and Events Research: State of the Art
will take place from 14-16 July 2010 at The Rose Bowl in Leeds.
There has been a massive growth of research relating to festivals
and events over recent years. Much of this has been precipitated by, or
has at least resonated with, a policy discourse that presents festivals
and events as ‘good’ socio-culturally and economically. There has also
been an explosion of university courses. Events management programmes
(including specialist provision concerned with the arts, culture or
sport, for example) now proliferate internationally. Moreover, modules
on festivals and events have become a common feature of tourism and
related courses.
The assortment of recent research has drawn on a variety of
disciplines and fields of study, such as sociology, economics,
management, education, public policy, tourism, sport and leisure
studies, planning, and environmental studies.
This conference will take stock and to add insight by enabling
connections to be made between different aspects of the currently
rather fragmented festivals and events research landscape. By bringing
together the researchers from across the world, the event will
encourage the creation of new research partnerships.
