[ecrea] Women, Ageing, Media Summer School, 2015

Women, Ageing and Media International Research Summer School (2015)



Overview:

The 2015 International Women, Ageing and Media (WAM) Research Summer 
School (at the University of Gloucestershire) will take place in 
Cheltenham (UK) on 20th and 21st July and will bring together 
international postgraduate researchers across disciplines whose research 
engages with women and ageing.

The Summer School has the general theme of ‘space and place’ and 
welcomes research papers that engage with this theme in relation to 
older women and:
Screen cultures
Technologies
Popular music
Popular Culture
Cultural activity
Creativity
Lived experience

We are delighted to announce that Professor Barb Marshall (Trent 
University, Canada) will also be participating and will provide the 
keynote presentation as part of our programme.

The Summer School will provide excellent opportunities for postgraduate 
researchers to make important connections with other researchers working 
in the field of Ageing Studies and, in addition to presenting work, 
there will be research training workshops exploring methods and 
conceptual issues relating to women and ageing studies. All participants 
will be expected to publish their reworked presentations or creative 
output in the Postgraduate Journal of Women, Ageing and Media as an 
event outcome.
