Brokering Intercultural Exchange: Interrogating the Role of Arts and Cultural Management. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and Würth Foundation This network addresses an urgent need within our current context of internationalisation, globalisation and increasing global migration for greater understanding of the role and interpretative power of arts and cultural managers as intercultural brokers. The network will focus on the field of arts and cultural management. This field incorporates the institutions, organisations, groups, and individuals who coordinate and lead the protection, marketing, mediation, and financial organisation of creative and aesthetic expressions; namely the fine and performing arts and heritage, rather than popular or commercial and broadcast arts.
