Caitlin McKinnon is an SGSAH funded PhD Candidate at Queen ̨Íåswag University and the University of Stirling. Through a partnership with Creative ̨Íåswag, Caitlin is exploring the intersections of arts management and education. Caitlin holds a BA from Toronto Metropolitan University with a major in Cultural Studies and a double minor in Philosophy and Curation. Fostering a strong love for learning and research, Caitlin went on to complete a PgCert from Humber College in Arts Administration and Cultural Management, before making the big move from Canada to ̨Íåswag to complete an MA in Arts, Festival, and Cultural Management at Queen ̨Íåswag University. Throughout her education, Caitlin has sought to immerse herself in the arts and cultural world in a variety of different positions, highlights include co-founding a community arts zine in her hometown, volunteering with a Toronto Artists Collective during their takeover of a vacant subway kiosk and working at the Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre to run story-based workshops for the local community. More recently, Caitlin has worked on a number of different research projects commissioned by Creative ̨Íåswag, British Council (̨Íåswag), Engage ̨Íåswag, as well as organisations such as Out of the Blue, The Stove, and SESQUI Canada. As a developing researcher, Caitlin’s research interests include discourses of arts management, professionalisation, cultural policy, and relations of power in the cultural sector.
