It is an opportunity for reflection on the ambitions and lessons learnt for S.H.E.D as a literal and metaphorical vehicle for the design of dialogue. Professor Alex Nunn will describe the way in which intersectional inequalities are produced and reproduced across space and time and explore the ways in which these dynamics might shape the way that we collect and analyse data about inequality. Dr Rhiannon Jones will focus her input on the impact that artistic practice has on engaging or engineering alternative sites for social, creative and cultural engagement. Dr Victoria Barker will draw on her research into the creation of cultural ecosystems and the interdisciplinary nature of artistic practice. To this end, Barker will focus on how cities are a site for cultural policy and dialogue. Together, Barker and Jones will reflect on how their individual areas of research weave together through their collaboration on the interdisciplinary project S.H.E.D.InDialogue Deda Derby Theatre University of Lincoln University of Derby Nottingham Contemporary CVAN Dance4 In Good Company Mansions of the Futur

It focuses on the project as a form of social arts practice, giving examples of arts activities and agencies in the space, and locating the work within placemaking typology as 'social practice placemaking' (SPPM). SPPM is conceptualised as an extension of participatory public/new genre public art (Lacy, 2008) to a 'new situationism' (Doherty, 2004). This perspective views the co-production of art as constructive of new spatial configurations and emergent relations between users and space. Locating this work in the socio-politics of urban life, SPPM has to be understood as an art form that dematerializes the built object and is concerned with creative and social processes and outcomes.

Leading academics from across the United Kingdom use storylines from BBC Radio 4’s The Archers to examine life in rural Borsetshire, bringing their academic research to new audiences. Is Lynda Snell a middleclass warrior? Can Rob Titchener be compared to Iago? The irreverent but thought-provoking contributions will have you laughing and thinking.

The research is concerned with grassroots arts-led interventions in the urban realm, participated in by citizens with an aim to improve the urban lived experience and to form and cultivate connections between people, place and community. This has come to be termed in the course of the research ‘social practice placemaking’ (social practice placemaking3), a practice observed in the placemaking sector as an approach that is informed by social practice arts and an attention on these arts as a means of urban revitalization. Operating at the intersection of arts, placemaking and urban theory, and place attachment thinking, the research has used a comparative approach based on participant observation and interviews at three case study sites: Art Tunnel Smithfield, Dublin, an outdoor art gallery and ...

For example, the misunderstanding that resulted in Chutneygate in 2016 caused feelings to run high. However, there is also evidence of deliberate cheating. Toye (2009) records three confirmed instances between 1975 and 2008, two planned and one opportunist, along with a number of unproved allegations. According to Michaels and Miethe (1989, p. 883), ‘cheating is a general class of deviance that occurs in a variety

Papers by Dr Cara Courage
Case studies include Art Tunnel Smithfield, Dublin, an outdoor art gallery and community space in an impoverished area of the city; The Drawing Shed, London, a contemporary arts practice operating in housing estates and parks in Walthamstow; and Big Car, Indianapolis, an arts organisation operating across the whole of this Midwest city.
This book offers a timely contribution, bridging the gap between cultural studies and placemaking. It will be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners working in geography, urban studies, architecture, planning, sociology, cultural studies, and the arts.
The 'creative' in urban planning is a 'fuzzy' 'buzzword' (Lilliendahl Larsen, 2014), one that is used systemically through concepts of vitality and vibrancy to articulate how arts and culture change the qualities of place, such as with the Vitality Indices in the US and UK (Gilmore, 2014, p.20), Arts Council England's recent metrics, and Vital Signs Evaluative Matrix (McKeown, 2015). In the culturised city (Zukin, 2009), culture and 'the arts' become part of the city's symbolic and fiscal economy. Creativity in the city though is also a site of resistance to culturisation, a 'call and response among different social groups' (Zukin, 1995) to find, create and maintain sites of different cultural value through new city visualisations (Stern, in Lowe and Stern, in Finkelpearl, 2013). Further, existing paradigms (Scientific/Social Science) and their evaluative aims maybe irrelevant. Placemaking occurs within a complex dynamic system - with causal relationships difficult to establish and baselines from which to measure impact hard to define within dynamic non-stable contexts existing evaluation aims, creative acts of placemaking may require an entirely new approach.
The session includes both qualitative and quantitative research and project evaluations, as well as methodologies, from researchers and sector professionals, as well as critiques of the same.
2016 conference
17th February 2016, at University of Liverpool in London, Finsbury Square
Session 1 will focus on practice-based research; Session 2, on theory and its application in this regard; and Session 3, on practice and practitioners.
We are seeking contributions from a global field from all settings; urban, suburban and rural. We are especially interested in contributions from practitioners and 'non-academics' and in directly including the community voice in the paper presentations. We aim to include both qualitative and quantitative research and project evaluations, as well as methodologies, and critiques of the same. Those participating will also be invited to join a dialogue space throughout the conference (located centrally at conference), curated and programmed from session contributors (as available and willing) and from local arts, community development and activist organisations and communities of practice. A pre-conference tour of local organisations and practitioners is also to be programmed in this strand of activity. Respondees to this CfP are invited to indicate if they would like to play a role in or have content to suggest/add to this wider programme.
Please submit an abstract for consideration, of no more than 250 words, by 12 pm 5 th November, to both [email protected] and [email protected]. Successful applicants will be informed by 6 th November for their timely registration to AAG 2017 by 8 th November.
If you anticipate now that you are not able to make the conference registration deadline, we encourage you to submit an abstract anyway for our consideration as we aim to accommodate later registration.
We cannot offer funding for attendance at the conference at this time so responses to this CfP should be made on this basis, though some registration fees may be accommodated.

Convenors: Cara Courage, University of Brighton and Anita McKeown, SMARTlab, University College Dublin.
RGS 2016 Annual International Conference, London, Tuesday 30 August to Friday 2 September.
Spatial practices are not unique to geography, historically artists have engaged with materialities as social practice (Courage, 2015; Kester, 2011; Lacy, 1998) physical environments (landscape painting, perspective) and exploring and shaping concepts of time and space (virtual worlds, telematics/telepresence). Both fields share experiences of spatial and social turns in theory (Soja, 2008; Bishop, 2006; Bourriaud, Massey, 2005), and practice (Mel Chin; In Certain Places; M12; France Whitehead) with theoretical, methodological and epistemological impacts.
As the Century of the System (Gawande, 2014) progresses it is no longer possible for any single discipline to address potential future concerns and systemic approaches will be required to address current nexus challenges; water, food, energy, climate, economic growth and human security. As part of a growing inter- and transdisciplinary concern to research and practice, the dissolving of both academic and sector field-specific boundaries is emerging. Methodological promiscuity is common practice within arts' practice, matured through a half century of non-object, process-orientated practices, cross-pollinating and fertilising ideas across ‘disciplinary frontiers to address global challenges for humanity and the earth’s myriad of systems’ (McKeown, 2015).
The artistic and spatial turn across arts and geographical disciplines is maturing and the conversation is not an exclusive, but mutual conversation. Artistic practices utilise geographical methods; Cartography, GIS, Spatial Inquiry, Participant Observation and share research interests with geography e.g. Information Modelling, a cultural and emotional engagement with place. Equally, geographers are utilising arts-based methods (Hawkins, 2012; Rose, 2011); visual and performative methods and methodologies e.g. Photography, Compositional Analysis, the Situationist’s dérive, to expand their understanding of the world and make connections to synthesise knowledge between disciplines.
This panel, taking inspiration from the nexus theme of the RGS-IBG 2016 annual conference, aims to bring together ‘artist-geographers’ and ‘geographer-artists’ to present on the perspective of practice-based/practice as research, engaged in nexus discourse towards social-ecological resilience
We are seeking a range of submissions from artists, geographers, researchers, curators commissioners, scientists or others working in this area, and papers might address, but are not limited to:
• Systems thinking for knowledge production within the Arts /
Geographic practices
• Practices encouraging collaborative research and
interdisciplinary problem-finding
• Practice as research and the development of new
methodologies through fieldwork.
• Discovering new questions through collaborative research
• Exploring symbiotic relationships towards different ways of
knowing and producing knowledge within Arts and Geography
collaborations
• Agile adaptive behaviour - The fluid state between specialist
and non-specialist; itinerant academics and artists
Please submit an abstract for consideration, of no more than 250 words, with a short biog, by Friday, 29th January 2016, to [email protected] and [email protected].
Successful applicants will be informed by 5th February, to confirm attendance by 12th February.
This session will continue the interrogation of notions of creative placemaking started at the RGS 2015 annual conference, aiming to take this conversation to the US and broaden international and sectora/practice discussion.
The creative placemaking (Landesman 2009) term has entered the arts-driven placemaking sector narrative presented as a ‘new [U.S.] policy platform across all levels of government’ (Markusen and Gadwa 2010:26) with a particular ethos; a cross-sectoral approach to arts-led regeneration (Markusen and Gadwa 2010) and of including non-arts stakeholders within community revitalisation (Poticha, 2011).
With contemporary debates around creative placemaking and its relations now reaching a moment in maturity and diversity a critique and a deeper understanding of practice is necessary.
Persistent questions arise around issues of arts practice/process, power relations, individual and community agency and creative placemaking’s relation vis-à-vis the neoliberal. As such, this session encourages a re-consideration of the role of the arts and creativity within socially-engaged placemaking practices for their potential to encourage self-organisation and how citizens can take the initiative in effecting their lived spacetime (McCormack 2013). It seeks to broaden the constituents in the creative placemaking discourse through presenting an international conversation that focuses on socially practiced, co-produced and citizen-led placemakings, addressing issues of scale, interdisciplinarity and radical practices within creative place production and co-production.
Given the vital need also for theorists to be in dialogue with practitioners, this session is seeking abstracts from both constituencies, with papers spanning theory and practice and examples of where the two intersect in the academy or in the field. It thus aims to provide a critical assessment of creative placemaking and of community driven placemaking (Hou and Rios 2003) and social design across all settlement types and conceptual, empirical, methodological papers papers are invited.
Papers might address, but are not limited to:
• Challenges to the concepts of creative placemaking and citizen-driven placemaking
• Examination and re-imagination of radical practices within arts-led community regeneration.
• The role of the individual and the artist/practitioner and other professionals in ‘open source’ placemaking
• Performing and un-performing place
• Systemic approaches to creative placemaking and Place-based design - Dealing with complexity.
• The role of administrations and policy development effected by grassroots placemakings
• The personal is political – behavourial related interventions of placemaking beyond party political agendas.
Please submit an abstract for consideration, of no more than 250 words, by 25th October, to [email protected] and [email protected]. Successful applicants will be informed by 27th October for their timely registration to AAG 2016.
The seminar intends to take an academic perspective on life in Ambridge and Borsetshire, with papers from across academic disciplines. Papers might include:
• A historical analysis of rural Britain as heard through Archers’ storylines
• A cultural analysis of Archers’ fandom
• A sociological analysis of class dynamics in rural Britain through the lives of Archers’
• characters
• A hydrology of the Am valley following the recent flooding events
• Elderly care provision in the rural setting
• Participatory and strategic planning in rural areas
• Rural and village economics, from the village store to agribusiness
• The statistical probability of no Ambridge residents listening to radio 4 at 2:00pm or 7:00pm
This list is not meant to be exclusive or exhaustive, but is meant to inspire you to think how your academic research can illuminate and explain life for the Archers and Ambridge. The day is intended to give academic fans of The Archers a platform to exercise their love of the programme and their subject area.
If you are a fellow Archers fan and academic please submit your abstract of 200 words to [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] by 16th November 2015.
The RSA report ‘A New Agenda on Climate Change (2013) indicates that indicates that ‘about two thirds of the [UK] population intellectually accept the reality of anthropogenic climate change, but ‘deny’ some or all of the commensurate feelings, responsibility and agency that are necessary to deal with it’ (2013:3). If Creative Placemaking is to contribute to places-in-the-making (Silberberg, 2013) and encourage citizen-led agency new conceptual frameworks and practical methodologies will be required, advocating transdisciplinary, resilient processes and new models of theory and practice. There is a vital need for theorists to be in dialogue with practitioners so this session is seeking abstracts from both constituencies, with papers spanning theory and practice and examples of where the two intersect in the academy or in the field.
Positioned within the broader context of Planetary Urbanisation and the Age of the Anthropocene the session will focus on socially practiced, co-produced and citizen-led placemakings. Initiated in response to a bottom-up need or desire rather than a top-down imposition, and where the artist(s) and participants work in a team of ‘urban creatives’ (Klanten and Hübner 2010, though the convenors recognise that not all practices will be urban-located) a critical assessment of creative placemaking and of community driven placemaking (Hou and Rios 2003) and social design across all settlement types is considered.
Culture is an all encompassing concept, which defines who we are and what we do. In recent times, arts and cultural activities have become critical factors in the creation of urban place- and policymaking. Yet, such culture-led regeneration has had its shortcomings, specifically in cities taking a neoliberal approach, which has all too often catalysed urban gentrification. Many critiques of this have been widely published in academia and continue to contribute to ongoing debates surrounding the roles of the arts in cities.
