About
Overview
Toby Bennett is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Culture and the Creative Industries, working on the CICERONE project (EU Horizon 2020) with Prof. Andy Pratt and Dr Jenny Mbaye. Working across the European continent, the project applies a global production network (GPN) approach to creative economy flows of trade and labour. The City team are particularly following the book and journal publishing subsector, alongside the transnational regulatory environment for culture.
More generally, Dr Bennett's research focuses on cultural economies, particularly issues of work, organisation, policy and knowledge, across different scales. His previous work has been concerned with production contexts in commercial popular music. He is currently writing up a book on employee experiences of digital transition in UK major record labels, based on doctoral research (KCL, 2016); is interested in the recent emergence of the "music city" policy concept; and in the creative economy as a site of knowledge flows.
