2007
The winner of the CPRA 2007 is Amanda Brandellero, PhD Student at the University of Amsterdam, specializing on economic geography at the Amsterdam Institute of Metropolitan and International Development Studies (AMIDST). Her cultural policy research project 'Manufacturing diversity? Ethnicity and the commodification of culture in the cultural industries' will shed light on the creative inputs of ethnic minorities to the development of cultural industries. It will also explore how cities can use cultural diversity as a vital resource for prosperity and potential catalyst for social-economic development. The research involves case-study analysis of ethnic diversity in three cultural industries sectors (architecture, fashion and music) in three cities: Amsterdam, London and Paris. Amanda Brandellero (British/Italian researcher) was granted the Euro 10.000 award on 8 June at the culture.powers.europe conference in Berlin gathering more than 500 participants from across Europe.
