HybridConference
Theme:United in Action
Casablanca, Morocco
8-9 December 2022
African Women in Media (AWiM) is pleased to bring you our sixth annual
conference, which aims to bring together academia, media practitioners,
civil society organisations and policymakers.
With the theme United in Action, African Women in Media 2022 (#AWiM22)
will hold in Casablanca, Morocco, on 8-9 December 2022 as a hybrid
conference.
We invite proposals from academia, media practitioners, civil society
organisations and policy actorscritically engaging with three sub-themes
that make up AWiM22.
These are:
1. Gender Equality in and through Media. This sub-theme asks; Is gender
equality in and through the media a moral and ethical obligation for
media organisations, or might it be argued to be a fundamental tenet
of media's role in society? What are the intersecting factors in
achieving this? What are examples of best practices
andknowledge production?
2. *Collective Action and Representation**.*This sub-theme asks; What
have been the outcome and opportunities for collective action
towardsanimproved representation of African women? After years
of misrepresentation, how are media industries responding to the
call to change the narrative? For those (media, academia, for
example) called to'decolonise', how have/might they achieve this?
3. *Media Business and Global Challenges.* This sub-theme asks;How
might media organisations build a different future that
is self-evaluating, collaborative and enabling?
In exploring these questions, AWiM22 United in Action welcomes paper,
panel, workshop and roundtable proposals from academics, practitioners,
