Dr Beatriz García is Director of Impacts08: The Liverpool Model, a 4-year programme of research to monitor the Liverpool Capital of Cultural 2008. She is also a Lecturer in the School of Sociology and Social Policy at University of Liverpool. She was formerly an RCUK academic fellow at the Centre for Cultural Policy Research, University of Glasgow. She is an active researcher in cultural policy and event-led regeneration looking into existing models of urban cultural policy and their contribution to the planning, management and sustainability of cultural events and festivals.
Her most recent publications evaluate the legacy of cultural programming within major events such as the Olympic Games, the Commonwealth Games and European Capital of Culture. She has published in the Sport Management Review (2002, v4, n2), the International Journal of Cultural Policy (2004, v10, n1), Local Economy (2004, v19, n4), Urban Studies (v42, n5-6), and in a range of specialist magazines and edited monographs.
Beatriz received her Bachelor's degree from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and pursued her Honours degree in Communications at Napier University. Between 1998 and 2000, she obtained a Mobility grant to undertake her PhD fieldwork on the cultural dimension of the Sydney Olympic Games at the University of Technology of Sydney.
She has been funded to assess the value of formalising a cultural policy within the IOC (2001, Lausanne Olympic Studies Centre scholarship), evaluate the cultural programme of the Manchester Commonwealth Games (2002, North West Cultural Consortium) and the Athens Olympics Games (2004, British Academy) and has directed a major project on the long term cultural legacies of Glasgow 1990 European City of Culture (2002-4, Glasgow University).
Beatriz is currently a member of the Culture and Education Advisory Committee of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games and is completing a monograph on ‘The Olympic Games and Cultural Policy', outlining the development of Olympic cultural programming and the Cultural Olympiad since their inception in 1906 and with a particular focus from Sydney 2000 onwards. The monograph is planned for publication by Routledge in 2009.
