[ecrea] Feminist Media and Cultural Studies Summer School

*Gender and Celebrity Summer School*

*22 - 26 May 2017, Lancaster University (and various venues)*

*Featuring a public lecture and discussion by Prof Jack Halberstam 
(University of Southern California on 'Trans* Bowie, Trans* Prince'*

Our feminist media and cultural studies summer school is a five day 
event aimed at postgraduates and academics, run by the Centre for Gender 
and Women's Studies at Lancaster University.

This year our theme is gender and celebrity. What makes a celebrity? How 
do celebrities connect with gender politics and to our construction of 
ourselves as gendered beings? How might we 'think with' and 'against' 
celebrities? How could we produce a feminist analysis of celebrity 
figures, machines and economies?

This summer school invites you examine celebrity through a feminist 
lens, and in doing so to critically explore questions of media 
production, identity and representation, desire, capitalism and value, 
visibility, activism and social and cultural change.

The summer school is led by Dr Debra Ferreday, Dr Tracey Jensen and Dr 
Kate McNicholas Smith and includes guest speakers, workshops, film 
screenings and more!

Prices for the full 5 day summer school: External Participant Price 
£90.00 / Lancaster University Staff/Students  £15
