***Gender, Crime and Media*
/Birmingham City University, Curzon Building, 8//^th //June 2016/
This one-day, interdisciplinary event aims to bring together diverse
perspectives from academics and postgraduate students researching in the
field of gender, crime and media. As well as panel presentations, there
will also be the opportunity to participate in roundtable discussions.
This participatory format will foster a dialogue between attendees and
provide a networking opportunity and a platform for knowledge exchange.
The theme of the event is purposefully broad and all encompassing, but
some suggested themes include:
·Media representations of gender and crime
·Media representations of honour crimes/ violence
·The abuse of women online
·Revenge porn
·Social media and violence against women
·Young people and sexting
·Feminist methodologies in media research
Papers that do not fit within these suggested themes, but fit within the
overall scope of the seminar, are also welcome. Both full papers and
works in progress are invited. Presentations are expected to be no
longer than 20 minutes with the opportunity for 10 minutes of questions.
Abstracts of 250 words are now welcome and the final date for submission
will be Friday 6^th May 2016. To submit an abstract and/ or register to
attend this event, please contact Dr Charlotte Barlow
((charlotte.barlow /at/ bcu.ac.uk) <mailto:(charlotte.barlow /at/ bcu.ac.uk)>). Please
feel free to submit roundtable discussion ideas via the same format.
I look forward to meeting/ seeing you at the seminar.**//___^
