The 8th Nordic Conference on Cultural Policy Research (NCCPR 2017)
Helsinki 23.–25.8.2017
The Foundation for Cultural Policy Research (CUPORE), the Unit of Cultural Policy at the University of Jyväskylä (JyU), and the Scientific Committee for the Nordic Conference on Cultural Policy Research invite you to submit abstracts for research papers, panel sessions, roundtables, or other types of presentations, to the 8th Nordic Conference on Cultural Policy Research. The conference will be held in Helsinki on August 23-25 2017.
The theme for the 8th NCCPR is Migration, Culture, and Nation. It is our ambition to facilitate discussions on the roles of cultural policy in a time when trends such as globalization, increasing migration, and changes in media and communication influence society and politics in new ways, creating new roles for arts and heritage.
The NCCPR welcomes all proposals from any academic discipline, concerning any problem or topic within the research area of cultural policy research, provided that the proposal makes an original contribution to research on cultural policy in the Nordic countries.
The conference provides spaces for parallel sessions with academic papers, and other types of presentations in Scandinavian languages and English. Plenary sessions will be held in English.
Deadline for submission of abstracts to the NCCPR 2017 is January 1, 2017
