Biography
Constance DeVereaux is Director of the MFA Program in Art Leadership and Cultural Management at University of Connecticut, USA.
"Constance DeVereaux is a pioneer scholar in arts and cultural management [and] in this book defines the new field of arts and cultural management, which helps academics and professionals to benchmark their research and practices." Xiao Lu, International Journal of Cultural Policy
'A contribution of immense value for the field of cultural management.' Jonathan Paquette, Journal of Arts Management, Law and Society
'The book’s contribution is not only to present the latest arts and cultural management discourse or to simply denote the state of the discipline and expand existing scholarship. It offers a platform for dialogue and food for thought.' Olga Kolokytha, Cultural Trends
'DeVereaux has done a great service ... the book should appeal to students and academics.' Ann Tonks, Arts Management Network
'The anthology provides a good picture of the emergence of new multidisciplinary practices and also interesting reflections on cultural and cultural policy differences in when and why there is a need for the term "arts management". DeVereaux makes a great contribution by writing an introductory article for each of the three parts, which provides a breadth, a deep and philosophical reflection on how it is possible to think of a research relationship in the position of art and culture in society.' Nordic Journal of Cultural Policy
