*Media and Sexual Violence*

October 7 to 11, 2024

CES | Alta (Coimbra, Portugal) >> applications until 31 July

*About*

The ‘Media and Sexual Violence’ School is an opportunity to reflect on 
how we understand sexual violence from its representations in different 
media, from different disciplinary perspectives and from the work of 
community-based organisations. Its specific aim is to analyse how sexual 
violence is mediatised in contemporary society, and, in this sense, it 
will discuss practical and methodological research tools, as well as the 
ethical dilemmas and challenges that mark cultural productions and 
journalistic coverage. The School is being held as part of the UnCoveR 
project, the first comprehensive transdisciplinary study of sexual 
violence in Portuguese media landscapes. The project studies sexual 
violence as a phenomenon framed by notions of sexual normativity, 
masculinity, femininity, and power dynamics, which, in contexts such as 
Portugal, marked by sexism, social hierarchies and colonial legacies, 
interact with notions of race, ethnicity, religion, and nationality.

The five-day School includes lectures, seminars, workshops, a cultural 
programme, a roundtable, a training session and focus groups. The 
speakers and trainers will be members of the project team and 
consultants, as well as journalists, activists, and professionals in the 
field of sexual violence.
