Who is missing from the picture? The problem of inequality in the creative economy and what we can do about it.

创意经济的许多建设都是值得庆祝的。创意经济被誉为经济增长和优质高薪工作的提供者。与此同时，创意经济在教育、再生和外交等一系列政策和实践领域也发挥着重要作用。然而，正如提出这一建议的研究所表明的那样，创意经济也是严重排斥和不平等的场所。这包括创意经济中生产和消费的性别、阶级和种族特征。谁失踪了？该报告是继几个AHRC资助的研究项目之后进行的，这些项目旨在巩固专注于不平等问题的创意经济方面的工作。此外，这项研究的整合将旨在提供挑战和改变排外行为的创意经济结构的方法。这项后续资助提案旨在加强研究不平等问题的学术专家与活动组织之间现有的伙伴关系；传播作为若干人权委员会资助项目的一部分所进行的现有研究结果；与致力于改变创意经济不平等特征的组织共同创造新知识；并利用现有的研究活动，发展组织、政策制定和从业者的能力，以应对创意经济的不平等。该项目由三个不同但互补的工作包组成，以解决本大纲中详述的传播、共同创造和研究开发目标。该项目的根源是基于两个长期和成功的合作伙伴关系的学术研究人员在AHRC资助的项目和组织在创意经济。第一次合作是在PI和Co-I与艺术发展组织Create London之间，结果是Panic！艺术中的社会流动性到底发生了什么？项目。第二项合作是PI和Co-I和Arts Emergency之间的合作。Arts Emergency是一家慈善机构，旨在支持16-19岁的弱势背景的年轻人在艺术领域追求职业和教育，然后进入创意经济。这是一个为期四年的合作关系，为艺术紧急在媒体和公共活动中使用学术研究提供信息，并在实践中塑造他们对数据和研究的使用。该项目首先考虑合作伙伴对数据和研究的需求。工作包1 （WP1）的重点是共同创建一套方法，以公众、政策和最重要的实践受众可以理解的方式传播现有研究成果。第二个工作包（WP2）直接回应了这些组织对数据和研究的需求。WP2将与Arts Emergency合作，了解那些渴望成为创意经济一部分的人，同时重新审视现有的研究数据，以了解当前创意经济中的不平等是如何随着时间的推移而变化的。后一点是恐慌的焦点！Project和Create London与学术团队一道，热衷于更广泛地发展和传播这些发现，特别是向英格兰艺术委员会和创意苏格兰的观众（他们提供了支持信）以及英国文化、媒体和体育部的观众。工作包3 （WP3）负责该项目的传播活动，由艺术紧急组织发布了一份PDF出版物，名为《图片中缺少谁：不平等问题及我们能做些什么》。这将在一系列活动中推出，由Create London提供，并由与Arts Emergency合作的年轻人制作（作为研究项目的一部分），从而将研究基础超越学院，同时发展那些有志成为创意经济一部分的技能和形象。

Many constructions of the creative economy are celebratory. The creative economy is lauded as a provider of economic growth and good, well paid, jobs. This is alongside the role of the creative economy in a whole range of policy and practice areas, including education, regeneration, and diplomacy. However, as the research giving rise to this proposal has demonstrated, the creative economy is also the site for significant exclusions and inequalities. These include the gender, class and racial character of both production and consumption in the creative economy. Who is missing? follows on from several AHRC funded research projects to consolidate work on the creative economy that has focused on the question of inequality. Moreover, the consolidation of this research will aim to offer approaches to challenge and change the structures of the creative economy that act to exclude. This follow on funding proposal aims to strengthen existing partnerships between academic experts on inequality and campaigning organisations; to disseminate the existing findings of research developed as part of several AHRC funded projects; to co-create new knowledge with organisations working to transform the unequal character of the creative economy; and to exploit existing research activities that will develop organisational, policy making, and practitioner capacity to respond to creative economy inequality. The project consists of three distinct, but complementary, work packages that address the dissemination, co-creation and research exploitation objectives detailed in this outline. The roots of the project are based in two longstanding and successful partnerships between academic researchers working on AHRC funded projects and organisations within the Creative Economy. The first partnership, between the PI and Co-I and Create London, an arts development organisation, resulted in the Panic! Whatever Happened to Social Mobility in the Arts? Project. The second partnership is between the PI and Co-I and Arts Emergency, a charity that supports young people aged 16-19 from disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue careers and education in the arts and then into the creative economy. This has been a four year working relationship informing Arts Emergency's use of academic research for media and public campaigning, as well as shaping their use of data and research in their practice.The project starts by thinking through the needs of the partners for data and research. Work Package 1 (WP1) is focused on co-creating a set of approaches to disseminate the existing research findings in ways that are understandable to public, policy and, most crucially, practice audiences. The second work package (WP2) responds directly to the needs of these organisations for data and research. WP2 will work with Arts Emergency to understand those aspiring to be part of the creative economy, along with re-interrogating existing research data to understand how current inequalities within the creative economy have changed over time. This latter point was the focus of the Panic! Project and Create London, alongside the academic team, are keen to develop and disseminate these findings more widely, particularly to audiences at Arts Council England and Creative Scotland (who have offered letters of support) and the UK's Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Work package 3 (WP3) takes up the dissemination activity for the project, with a PDF publication from Arts Emergency called Who is missing from the Picture: The problem of inequality and what we can do about it. This will be launched at a series of events, delivered by Create London, and produced by the young people working with Arts Emergency (paid as part of the research project), thus taking the research base beyond the academy whilst developing the skills, and the profile, of those aspiring to be part of the creative economy.
