Abstract
The University of Hildesheim (Germany) is a leader in both arts education and research in cultural policy and management. They have a new innovative focus on social justice for artists and writers, and the policy implications and implementation of Cultural Rights for activists and NGOs. For the opening of this special issue, the journal Co-ed-in-Chief, Dr Jonathan Vickery, interviews Dr Daniel Gad on his new interests and the parameters of Rights as applied to culture and the arts.
