[Commlist] new book series on gender and media invites proposals

NEW BOOK SERIES LAUNCHED ON GENDER AND MEDIA

The /Contemporary Debates on Gender and Media/ book series offers a 
welcoming home for scholarly work that examines the complex relationship 
between gender and media, exploring how the changing media landscape is 
transforming the ways in which gender is represented and how different 
audiences consume and produce media, both formally and informally.  The 
series has a wide and expansive scope and will consider proposals which 
focus on any aspect of the gender-media relationship. We are 
particularly open to research on less-established topics such as gender 
and intersectional analyses, how women professionals navigate online 
spaces, gender-based discrimination in media industries, and how digital 
media is being harnessed by activists to challenge gender stereotypes 
but also how it’s being weaponised to promote different forms of 
anti-feminist backlash. Additionally, given the exponential development 
of AI and associated emergent technologies over the past few years, or 
the ways in which algorithmic logic can uncritically replicate gender 
bias, the series is keen to see proposals which consider the power of AI 
to (re)articulate and reproduce traditional gender-based stereotypes but 
also, more positively, how it is being used to challenge them. The 
series editors recognise that much of the extant scholarship (and thus 
the visibility of particular ‘knowledges’) on the gender-media nexus 
privileges research undertaken in the global North, and we are 
particularly keen to welcome proposals which focus on the global South 
and/or which use a postcolonial lens to interrogate specific contexts of 
gendered media in any part of the world.
