Cultural and Media Policy Studies News and Events

Dr Belfiore has had the pleasure to write a preface for a book by Elisa Bonacini, Italian archaeologist and doctoral candidate at the University of Catania, Italy. The book entitled Il museo contemporaneo. Fra tradizione, marketing e nuove tecnologie (The contemporary museum: Between tradition, marketing and new technologies) is published by Roman based academic publisher Aracne.

Dr Eleonora Belfiore delivered a keynote paper entitled "Evaluating the social impact of the arts – dos & don'ts", at the "Kulturstadt Basel" conference on 27th January 2011. This was an event that brought together politicians, policy-makers, funding bodies, community representatives and other stakeholders to discuss the implications of the "Kulturleitbild" - cultural  mission - launched by the city of Basel in August 2010.
