Monday 13 February 2006, 0930 - 1300
Room 408, Gilmorehill Centre, University of Glasgow
The second seminar in the series will look at barriers within the creative industries.
It is well documented that the so-called 5 'c's (catering, caring, cleaning, cashiering and clerical work) are dominated by women, who largely work part-time hours, are often the lowest paid, and are often under-represented in higher paid, senior level jobs. The creative industries are arguably
particularly attractive to women, yet these are industries that are failing to achieve equity in entry, retention and progression. Are the creative industries, therefore, becoming the sixth 'c' in Scotland?
This seminar will present the results of a European Social Fund supported study undertaken by Robert Gordon University. It will identify and discuss the gender issues specific to various sectors of the creative industries. It will also address how the findings could impact on the development of gender equality policies across the Scottish creative industries.
The seminar will be led by Professor Rita Marcella, Project Leader and Dean of Aberdeen Business School together with her research colleagues Graeme Baxter and Lorraine Illingworth. There will be formal contributions from Jackie Malcolm of Arc Visual Communications, a graphic design sole trader and teacher at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, and from the National Union of Journalists, who organise across the broadcasting and print media and in public relations. Professor Adrienne Scullion, Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies at University of Glasgow will chair the seminar.
There is no charge for the seminar, however, places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. To reserve your place, please complete the online booking form at
