Professor in Arts and Cultural Management

Dr Hilary Glow is a Professor in Arts and Cultural Management in the Department of Management, Deakin Business School. She is an author of books, book chapters and journal articles with a primary focus on research into arts audiences. Her research is also in the areas of arts and cultural impact, audience engagement and diversification, evaluation processes for arts/cultural organisations, and the impact of arts programs on people's views of cultural diversity.

Hilary has undertaken research for arts organisations as well as local, state and federal governments and other arts funding agencies. She is regularly commissioned to conduct program reviews, provide evaluation models, inform the development of arts and cultural policies, and examine barriers to arts participation. She and her colleagues have conducted research with the Australia Council, Creative Victoria, DFAT and VicHealth to provide program and project evaluations.

Professor Glow's research success has been recoginsed by the ARC's 2018 Engagement and Impact Assessment which rated her research (in conjunction with co-author Dr Katya Johanson) at the highest levels for both industry engagement and impact.

From 2015-2017 Hilary was a member of the Australia Council's Research Strategy Panel. Made up of a group of distinguished scholars and leaders, the panel supported 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.

From 2016-2019, Hilary was President of the Green Room Awards, Victoria's premier peer-voted, performing arts industry awards.
