Harriet Hawkins

Dr. Harriet Hawkins’s research focuses on the geographies of creative and cultural practices.  Informed by cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary research, her work brings together the cultural geographies of creative practices (mainly visual arts practice) with the geographies of the creative industries and thinks through the value of creative practices as a geographical research and dissemination method.

Alongside academic publications, her research has both practice led and knowledge transfer strands. She has produced the artists’ book ‘insites’ in collaboration with Annie Lovejoy and is also working with art galleries, with artist-led organisations and in a policy environment with arts governance organisations.

She was an AHRC Associated Research Fellow on a project  ‘Negotiating the poetics and politics of cultural identity in the Creative Industries in South West Britain.’
