40th stp&a Conference Ottawa, University of Ottawa, Canada   October 9th – October 11th 2014    
  Call for Papers For its 40th anniversary, the Social Theory, Politics and the Arts Conference will be hosted at the School of Political Studies of the University of Ottawa.
The proposed theme of this year's conference is Creative nexus: understanding and strengthening the relationship between cultural research and practice.
This theme intends to cover a number of growing issues and concerns about the challenges and limitations that cultural research and practice are increasingly facing. The main theme of the conference aims to explore the current nature of the research/practice relationship; it aims to assess the different types of collaborations established between practitioners and researchers; it also aims to understand some of the potential limitations that we often encounter. Can the relationships between cultural/artistic practice and cultural research be furthered or renewed towards a number of new creative directions? Can this relationship foster new collaborations, new knowledge and new solutions to tackle important issues pertaining to the formulation and implementation of cultural policies, to address some of the intergenerational challenges that most cultural organizations face, or to establish the parameters of a sound and ethical relationship between researchers, managers, creators and the users of cultural services?
This broad theme will be reflected in the keynote sessions and in the panels, but in the spirit of inclusiveness, we will also fully consider contributions that address other themes pertaining to arts management and cultural policy research. These themes may include:
