Stuart Cunningham is one of Australia’s leading proponents of the new and applied humanities.

He has made a number of distinctive and high-impact contributions to the academic discipline fields in which he works and through these, has had widely-acknowledged influence on industry practice and policy development beyond the academy. The contributions, in summary, are: disciplinary consolidations in the relatively new fields of media, cultural and communication studies; the articulation of a policy approach into cultural and media studies; significantly shaping the international creative industries research agenda; leading the development of the relationship of creative industries to innovation studies and policy; and understanding digital transformations of the screen sector. In addition to his research contributions, he has considerable senior leadership and management experience as director of an ARC Centre of Excellence, faculty director of research and research training, head of school, and acting Executive Dean. He has served the profession, the community and the polity in several leadership roles in advocacy, advice and governance in research and higher education, and in the screen and library sectors.

He has co-authored several major reports for bodies such as National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (UK), United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Geneva), the Australian departments of education, communications, and arts, the Australian Broadcasting Authority, the Australia Council, the Queensland state government and the Brisbane City Council.

(Platform Papers, 2006); In the Vernacular: A Generation of Cultural Criticism and Controversy (University of Queensland Press, 2008); and Hidden Innovation: Policy, Industry and the Creative Sector (University of Queensland Press, 2013 and Rowman & Littlefield/Lexington Books, 2014).
