The Oxford Handbook of Arts and Cultural Management is a curated, first-line resource for graduate students and scholars that critically and analytically surveys the contemporary research in arts and cultural management and suggests directions for future work. The rigorous and in-depth contributions by both leading and emerging scholars from diverse national and disciplinary backgrounds emphasize public and nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and their social environments, while also touching on creative industry practices.
As the field emerges from a post-pandemic world, the Handbook also plays a critical role in envisioning a new future for arts and cultural management research - one that supports movements towards a more equitable, sustainable, and just society.
This volume offers a much-needed, critical survey of the latest research in arts and cultural management, from a global perspective, and suggests directions for future research. Across nearly forty chapters written by both leading and emerging scholars from diverse backgrounds, the Oxford Handbook of Arts and Cultural Management covers topics relating to public and nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and their ecosystems, while addressing important theories and methodologies to inform readers on the application of these concepts to arts and cultural management.
