About me
I am a human geographer primarily concerned with the interrelations between culture and economy, the geographical foundations of business competencies and competitiveness and the economic geography of innovation, entrepreneurship and contemporary economic change. Within this broad concern I have focused most of my energy on the cultural and creative industries and the cultural economy.
My work on the creative and cultural industries and the cultural economy has occupied me since 2000 and forms the main plank of my research. The background for this research lies in the fact that in recent years there has been considerable growth in the importance of non-manufacturing based forms of production to the performance of many Western economies. This shift away from manufacturing has not simply meant a shift to a service-based economy. It has also meant that many economies have become increasingly reliant on the production and export of activities and products traditionally considered ephemeral aspects of nations’ cultural lives; and that cultural and creative inputs have become important aspects of how all firms create added-value and differentiate themselves. This work has involved research both on the general parameters of the cultural industries and economy and sector-specific research on the music, design and fashion industries. I am motivated not only by an interest in the spatial dynamics of these industries but also an interest in how the conditions for their success, competitiveness and innovation are wound into evolving global flows and chains. I am deeply concerned with how these activities are anchored in, and affect, regional economies and I have been actively engaged not only in academic research but also research for urban and regional policy.
