About the Innovation Network on Cultures of Class

Our network addresses matters concerning social classes of the past and present. We invite a broad membership: academics from the arts, humanities and social sciences, representatives of institutions such as museums, libraries and galleries, stakeholders in industry and politics as well as any interested member of the public.

The network is organised in a range of groups that are concerned with, for example, concepts of class identity, consequences of underrepresentation of social groups, lack of opportunity and access, social bias, and classed cultural expressions. The purpose of these groups is to support and connect members across social boundaries in an effort to promote inclusivity. Groups also support the organisation of events, publications and research projects that generate impactful and innovative outcomes.
