Prof. Dr. Paul Long (Monash University, Australia): “Digital platforms offer more opportunities for participation and agency, giving voice to individuals and communities of interest”
At the 15th International Conference on "Culture & Creativity" Prof. Dr. Paul Long is willing to share his work concerned with the political representation of migrants in terms of their individual and proportional presence and inclusion in the Australian cultural economy. This approach to representation encompasses the role of makers, intermediaries, producers, entrepreneurs and, potentially, policy makers. This research is based on exploratory empirical work that seeks insight into migrant practice and narratives qua migrants, of their roles and experiences in the sector.
Paul Long is Professor in Creative and Cultural Industries and Director, Monash Migration and Inclusion Centre. He has published widely on issues in popular cultural history, participation, and creative work. He co-founded the Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research at Birmingham City University in 2009 and is founding co-editor of the Journal of Beatles Studies (Liverpool University Press). He is currently researching the role of migrants in the creative and cultural industries as well as Australian home-made, amateur, and DIY creative production.
