Kate Mattocks

I am a political scientist interested in the politics of public policy and decision-making. My research investigates how and why governments make policies to do with culture and the arts, with a focus on policy learning and change in cultural policy. I have a secondary research interest in academia as a profession, and have published on academic labour and pluralism in political studies.
