Martha Bloom - Creative PEC

Martha Bloom is a Researcher at the Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU), University of Sussex. After graduating with a BA in Theatre Studies (specialising in directing) from Middlesex University, Martha has worked in the Creative Industries as a theatre director, writer, festival producer and heritage film executive. In 2014 she was awarded a Chancellor’s Scholarship to conduct an MSc at SPRU in Managing Innovation and Projects. This prompted an interest in researching the Creative Industries from an innovation perspective. After a short spell away from academia working as a researcher for local government, she was awarded a scholarship from the R&D Management Association (RADMA) to undertake a PhD at SPRU. Her research centres around skills and innovation in the Creative Industries, with a particular focus on the integration of Arts and STEM knowledge bases at the individual, firm and inter-firm levels. She is currently in the third year of her PhD, supervised by Josh Siepel and Roberto Camerani. She also teaches alongside Roberto on the modules ‘Innovation in the Creative Economy’ and ‘Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Cultural and Creative Industries’.
