>which: ethnicity, identity politics, queer studies, gender in media
>industries, feminist media studies, popular culture studies,
>post-structural theory, philosophical questions).
>
>We welcome interdisciplinary approaches and innovative studies in all
>areas of media and communication research (media production, media texts
>and media use and/or reception) that address the broad theme of the
>congress. Questions of gender within the field of communication and media
>can be approached at theoretical, methodological and/or empirical levels
