ALEX TURRINI

I am an Associate Professor in Public and Nonprofit  Management at Bocconi University. Previously,

I have been Chair of the Division of Arts Management and Arts Entrepreneurship as well as visiting professor at  Meadows School for the Arts and Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University, SMU Dallas, Texas. 

At Bocconi I am the Director of the MSc in Arts and Cultural Management and Economics (ACME) and Scientific Supervisor of the Arts, Sport, Entertainment and Culture Knowledge Platform within the SDA Bocconi School of Management Research Division. 

I am Editor-in-Chief for the International Journal of Arts Management and Associate Editor - Europe for the Journal of Philanthropy and Marketing.  My studies are rooted in the public administration / public policy field and I am particularly interested in topics related to arts administration and cultural policy such as  cultural philanthropy and arts patronage, the role of arts and culture in local policies, cultural networks and D-E-I in arts organizations.

You can find updates on my research and activities in my Linkd'n page or Google scholar page
