[ecrea] Gender, Media and Generation - CFP and Postgraduate Workshop Announcement

Please find below, a call for papers for CHASE postgraduate scholars 
researching in the field of gender, media and age. The call for papers 
is open to all postgraduate researchers at CHASE institutions 
(Courtauld, Essex, Goldsmiths, Kent, the OU, Sussex and the UEA) and the 
workshop is open to all (details of registration can be found below). 
The aim of the workshop is to showcase the excellent research that is 
being undertaken by researchers at CHASE institutions, fostering 
conversations between researchers concerned primarily with the media and 
those focused on audiences and/or representations of male, female, 
transgender, and queer people of differing ages and generations.



The workshop, which will feature keynote speakers Professor Beverley 
Skeggs (Goldsmiths) and Professor Yvonne Tasker (UEA), will be held at 
the Open University in Camden, London, on Friday 25th January 2013.



Topics of presentation could include, but are by no means limited to:



·         Gendered representations of aging

·         Tweens as audiences

·         Young people and media effects

Representations of boyhood and/or girlhood

·         Middle-aged women as media audiences

·         Trans- teenagers on television.

·         Nostalgia and music consumption

·         New media and ageing audiences.

·         Experiences of age and gender within subcultures.



Or indeed any combination of the above!



Please send a 200 word abstract and a short bio to (v.cann /at/ uea.ac.uk), the 
deadline for receiving abstracts is 7th December 2012. Please note that
