Dr Michela Redoano - Associate Professor in Economics, University of Warwick and CAGE and CES-Ifo Associate
Michela is an applied economist mainly working in intersection between public economics, political economics and behavioural economics; in the sense that, for example, policy choices (such as decisions over public expenditure and taxation) are the outcomes of strategic interactions between voters and elected policy makers at different stages of the political process. The common denominator of most of Michela's work is the understanding on how these interactions work and what drives political choices from the perspective of both voters and policy makers at different stages of the political process.
Beyond doing research and teaching Michela is chairing the WEDGG Group in the department which is responsible for addressing wellbeing, equality, diversity and gender issues. One of the key priorities is to engage in activities to increase the representation of females in the Department. The Department has recently achieved a Bronze Award from the Athena Swan Charter in recognition of the commitment to gender equality. Michela is also working in collaboration with the Royal Economics Society to provide mentoring opportunities for young female economists.

Title: 'The Idea of a 'Religion of Art': The Case of Wagner'
Speaker: Andrew Huddleston (Warwick)
Title: The Idea of a "Religion of Art": The Case of Wagner
Date: Tuesday, 8 March 2022
Time: 5.30pm-7.15pm (UK time)
Abstract:
This talk draws on a wider project of mine considering a theme in the aesthetic theorizing and art-making of the post-Kantian period, especially pronounced in German Romanticism, and going through the 19th century, and into the 20th century to certain key segments of artistic, literary, and musical modernism. An oft-expressed ambition is that art will somehow step in and fill the void left behind by waning religion. In this talk specifically, I use Richard Wagner’s theoretical writings (and some responses to his works and his agenda) as one lens for better understanding this exalted ambition for art and the limitations of this ambition.
The seminar will be held in hybrid mode:in person(roomR1.13) andonline on MS Teams.
