The MA Arts Management Showcase is actually part of the annual Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Festival of Social Science, which provides a great opportunity to display outstanding Queen\u2019s MA Arts Management students\u2019 research to the professional circles and the public for a wider social impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At the event, the convention is that a senior guest speaker would be invited to share his or her research on the culture and arts field, followed by a presentation of selected outstanding postgraduate research work and a round-table discussion with the guest speaker. Therefore, this showcase event is an ideal opportunity to demonstrate Arts Management teaching and research outcomes at Queen\u2019s and communicate with professional researchers in arts management from outside Queen’s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As one of the four student speakers, I presented my dissertation (\u5b66\u4f4d\u8bba\u6587 xu\u00e9w\u00e8i l\u00f9nw\u00e9n) which was about curating (\u7b56\u5c55 c\u00e8zh\u01cen) and audience engagement (\u89c2\u4f17\u53c2\u4e0e gu\u0101nzh\u00f2ng c\u0101ny\u00f9) in contemporary art exhibitions (\u5f53\u4ee3\u827a\u672f\u5c55 d\u0101ngd\u00e0i y\u00ecsh\u00f9zh\u01cen), exploring how curating constructs audiences\u2019 experiences and facilitates audience engagement in contemporary art exhibitions. Alongside me, Dr. Christina Ballico, and my classmates, Holly and Stephanie, presented their research in terms of \u2018music city\u2019, \u2018arts engagement of the working class (\u5de5\u4eba\u9636\u7ea7 g\u014dngr\u00e9n ji\u0113j\u00ed)\u2019, and \u2018music education development in Northern Ireland\u2019. Their presentations were interesting and insightful, illustrating a bigger picture and sketching out the details about how to develop an inclusive, equal cultural engagement for cities, artists, and the public. Also, their research methods and case studies expanded my knowledge of conducting arts management both in the academic and professional domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There was a Q&A panel and a networking (\u4f1a\u540e\u4ea4\u6d41 hu\u00ech\u00f2u ji\u0101oli\u00fa) session following the end of the presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was not only a rewarding moment to ‘show off’ my efforts in my independent research but also a lovely reunion with my supervisors, classmates, and friends. Reviewing my\u00a0 experience of studying at Queen\u2019s, I had a strong sense of achievement (\u6210\u5c31\u611f ch\u00e9ngji\u00f9g\u01cen) and gained many opportunities to improve my language and intercultural skills, and develop my research abilities, thanks to the small-scale class, diverse classmate backgrounds, high-standard course programme, and professional and dedicated teachers. I treated this event as my reward for my study at Queen\u2019s and hope that more Chinese students at Queen\u2019s step onto this showcase stage in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Author: Ruinan PENG How exciting when you were selected for a panel discussion on your research work and experience as part of your postgraduate degree study at Queen’s?
