Dr Lucy Montgomery is a Vice Chancellor’s Research Fellow at the Australian Research Council-funded Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCI) at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane, Australia. Her current work explores the role of intellectual property in processes of innovation and change in creative industries' business models.
Lucy graduated with first-class honours in Asian Studies from the University of Adelaide before going on to complete her PhD at QUT in 2007. Her PhD, Governing a Copyright Culture in Post-WTO China, examined the role of copyright and the challenges of governance associated with the emergence of China's commercially focused film and music industries following China's entry into the World Trade Organization.
Lucy has worked extensively as both a researcher and as project manager on a major Australian government-funded research programme on China's creative industries and has spent time living and working in China. Her book, Chin'as Creative Industries: Copyright, social network markets and the business of culture in a digital age, is published by Edward Elgar (2010).
Back to Our People
A revolutionary new approach to making scholarly books free Earlier this week, David Willetts announced the government’s intention to make publically funded research available for free to readers. This announcement comes in the wake of a tumultuous few months for academic publishers. The boycott of journals published by Elsevier, the Wellcome Trust’s decision to adopt more robust Open Access policies in relation to the research that it funds and, internationally, Harvard University’s proclamation that the cost of journal subscriptions has become ‘untenable’ have added to a growing sense of crisis in the publishing community.
