The School of Culture and Creative Arts welcomes IETM delegates to Not the Ivory Tower at the University of Glasgow. A specially commissioned guided walk of our ancient University, led by two of our doctoral students (and professional practitioners), is followed by a symposium which explores, through various current examples, the ways in which a University is able to engage with, support, and influence the cultural activities of a city. In these financially challenging times, collaboration and creative partnerships across sectors are all the more vital. Contributors include Professor Nick Pearce (Head of the School of CCA), Professor Adrienne Scullion (Research Lead on Pantomime in Scotland), Dr. Dominic Paterson (Curator and Art critic), Dr. Nick Fells (Scottish Opera, Red Note Ensemble, and Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra), Jackie Wylie (Artistic Director of Arches and PhD supervisor for Collaborative Doctoral Award), and David Overend (Collaborative Doctoral Award student, with the Arches and Glasgow University).
