Common Cause Workshop, Glasgow

'Translating Cultures' is one of the AHRC's highlight themes which provide a funding focus for emerging areas of interest to arts and humanities researchers. The research projects undertaken within Translating Cultures address the need for understanding and communication within, between, and across diverse cultures by studying the role of translation, in its broadest sense, in the transmission, interpretation, transformation, and sharing of languages, values, beliefs, histories, and narratives.

Translating Cultures (AHRC)

How do academics talk to Black and minority-ethnic (BME) artists? How can BME-led arts, cultural and heritage organisations make more mutually productive collaborations with Universities? 
There is a `common cause’ to be forged between Arts and Humanities academics seeking to pluralise and deepen their accounts of the world and their collaborations with BME artists, organisations and communities. Common Cause is a programme which seeks to map, understand and improve these collaborations. What makes such projects and working relationships work well or fail? What are the benefits and challenges to both parties? And what would enable more BME artists and BME-led organisations to access the rich research and development resources of their local, regional and national Universities? 
As part of the Common Cause research team, the AHRC ‘Translating Cultures’ Theme is offering a one-day workshop which seeks to lead a discussion on how to make such collaborations more co-productive. This all-day event will provide an open space to talk through experiences, concerns, risks and aspirations, as well as articulating the rich potential of such collaborations. 
The Common Cause Research team is led by the AHRC Connected Communities programme, based at the University of Bristol. Our other Common Cause partners are the Runnymede Trust, Xtend (UK) Ltd, University of Nottingham’s Centre for Research in Race &amp; Rights, Arts Council England and other community partners such as Voice4Change and Takethespace. 
This session will be facilitated by David Bryan from Xtend (UK) Ltd and Prof Charles Forsdick, AHRC Theme Fellow for Translating Cultures, based at the University of Liverpool.
