We’re very pleased to announce the appointment of Professor Nicky Marsh to the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Advisory Board.
The AHRC Advisory Board provides critical insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the sector and supports the development of strategic partnerships. It includes members from higher education, the creative industries, cultural institutions, and beyond.
Nicky, who is also co-director of the 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 Institute for Arts and Humanities, said:?“This is a fantastic opportunity to return some of the support that the AHRC has given me! AHRC funding has allowed me to develop a broad range of research practices and collaborations. This funding facilitated the Show the Money exhibition, the History of Financial Advice project as well as the recent And Towns projects on pride, culture and place.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to work closely with the AHRC as well, through a ‘Where Next?’ scoping project in 2021 and through the AHRC Place Programme in 2022-23. I feel excited and privileged to do more of this work as part of the Advisory Board.”
