Naseem Khan has combined research/policy work as a journalist and broadcaster, both on staff and as an independent freelance. Her weekly column in the New Statesman in the 1980s - Work in Progress - ran for three years and profiled areas of creativity that generally did not reach the review columns – from the sophisticated planning for the annual Notting Hill Carnival to folk singers in the North of England, from the growth of the Arts and Health movement to Andy Goldsworthy’s winter residency on Hampstead Heath before that artist became a world name. She has always liked to work with emerging movements – from her days as Theatre Editor of Time Out when the new experimental theatre was erupting all over London, to the days when, with a group of colleagues, she established and ran The Hustler, an early black newspaper, in London’s Notting Hill. More recently, her 2010 monograph ’Who is Arnold Circus?’ brought the extraordinary lives of Sir Arthur and Edwin Arnold out of the shadows. Naseem Khan is a seasoned editor, having worked as such with Faber and Faber and then copy-edited special projects on the Observer. More recently, she co-edited ‘Voices of the Crossing – the impact of Britain on writers from the Caribbean, Asia and Africa’ with Ferdinand Dennis. In 2008, she commissioned think-pieces from nine international experts on the theme of leadership for the Cultural Leadership Programme, and wrote an extended framing introduction available as ’Equality, Leadership, Possibilities: Addressing social change’ .
