- **Event Description**: Arts Management &amp; Cultural Policy at Queen’s is delighted to host Professor Eleonora Redaelli.About this EventThis presentation will draw from her latest (open access) publication  (Edward Elgar, 2025). The talk will examine the often-overlooked role of the U.S. government in shaping cultural life. She will explore how public administration fosters a pluralistic cultural landscape through multilevel governance and diverse democratic values. Focusing on the arts, humanities, and historic preservation, the talk traces key legislation that legitimised federal involvement and the evolution of cultural federalism across national and state agencies. To illustrate this process, the presentation provides national examples of programming as well as cases from Oregon, Minnesota, Maryland, and New Mexico. It also highlights intellectual debates that influenced shifting interpretations of cultural domains. Amid this fragmented governance, the concept of a pluralistic public culture emerges as a unifying principle aimed at strengthening democracy.Following the presentation, a Q&amp;A will be chaired by Dr Kim-Marie Spence, AMCP, School of Arts, English &amp; Languages at QUB.Light refreshments will follow the talk.This event is open to all and particularly relevant for those interested in public policy, cultural policy and public culture.
