In view of the shortness of the abstract, and to save you reading the whole article, here are some of the highlights.
“cultural policy can be both the least and the most important area of government. Yet it remains neglected”
“two sets of problems for cultural policy: inequalities that are within the cultural sector; and the impact of culture on social inequalities more generally”
“the impact of culture on criminal justice, education, urban regeneration and health has not been fully embraced by government”
“much more detailed and strategic thinking is needed to change the relationship between cultural organisations and sections of the public”
“The cultural sector has to take responsibility for its role in the continued exclusions of those who do not replicate the white, middle‐class standard that dominates the cultural sector”
