David McGillivray holds a Chair in Event and Digital Cultures in the School of Business and Creative Industries at University of the West of Scotland and is Deputy Director of the Centre for Culture, Sport and Events (CCSE). His research focuses on two main areas of activity. The first area of interest is the contemporary significance of events and festivals (sporting and cultural) as markers of identity and mechanisms for the achievements of wider economic, social and cultural externalities. The second main area of interest is the affordances of digital and social media in enabling (and constraining) participation in civic life, including in relation to major sport and cultural events. He is the co-editor of Leveraging Disability Sport Events (Routledge, 2018), Event Bidding: Politics, Persuasion and Resistance (Routledge, 2017) and Event Policy: From Theory to Strategy (Routledge, 2012) alongside co-editor of Digital Leisure Cultures: Critical Perspectives (Routledge, 2017) and Research Themes in Events (2013, CABI).
