Résumé
Professor Justin O’Connor is Chair in Communications and Cultural Economy, School of Media, Film and Journalism, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. He is visiting chair in the School of Media and Design, Shanghai Jiaotong University. Justin's career has included appointments at various universities in the UK, China, and Australia. During his time at Manchester Metropolitan University, Professor O’Connor led a four city-university MA in Culture and Urban Regeneration. His research led to the establishment of Manchester’s Creative Industries Development Service (CIDS), the UK’s first dedicated local economic development agency for the creative industries, of which he was chair. His interest in the developing international agenda for the creative industries has seen him speak in China, Malaysia, South Korea and Taiwan Province of China. Currently he is conducting two major research projects, on the impact of contemporary art galleries on creative cities, and changing relations between higher education and graduate career trajectories in Melbourne and Shanghai. He has just completed a major policy document for the Australian government on Cultural Economy as Public Policy. He is also setting up a joint research centre on global cultural economy, with Monash, Warwick (UK) and Shanghai Jiaotong University, and convenes a related policy expert network Global Cultural Economy. He is a board member of Renew Australia – an agency for making empty space available for creative use. Professor O'Connor has published over 100 books, papers, chapters and reports in the field of cultural and creative industries, arts and cultural policy, urban cultures and popular music. He is currently finishing a book for Sage, After Creative Industries; a joint book on Cultural Economy in the New Shanghai (Routledge); and has just co-edited The Routledge Companion to the Cultural Industries.
