Biography
Dr Hilary Glow is an Associate Professor in the Department of Management in Deakin Business School. Hilary is also the Director of the Arts and Cultural Management Program in the Faculty of Business and Law. She is an author of books, book chapters and research papers on arts participation and audience engagement, arts and cultural policy, local government arts and cultural policy and planning, Indigenous performing arts and youth arts.
Hilary has undertaken research for arts organisations as well as local and state government that has involved reviewing programs, providing evaluation models, developing arts and cultural policies, and examining barriers to arts participation. She and her colleagues have recently conducted research with VicHealth to provide an evaluation of 7 performing arts projects funded to address issues of race discrimination. Currently, with Dr Katya Johanson, she is working with Creative Victoria to evaluate 'Culture Counts' - a digital platform for measuring the experiences of arts audiences.
Hilary also sits on the Australia Council's Research Strategy Panel. Made up of a group of distinguished scholars and leaders, the panel supports the Council in commissioning original research and analysis to inform arts policy development, providing the evidence base for advocacy, and influencing public thinking about the arts.
From 2012 to 2015, Hilary was Director of the Arts Participation Incubator (API) which she started with seed funding from Deakin University. The API established activities and networks to identify the fruitful ground between the arts sector, social innovation and scholarly research. Over 3 years, the API facilitated projects, conversations and collaborations between artists, arts managers and producers, social entrepreneurs and innovators, technologists, futurists, not for profit and community organisations, businesses, philanthropists and governments.
In 2016, Hilary has been appointed President of the Green Room Awards, Victoria's premier peer-voted, performing arts industry awards.
