[Commlist] ICA Preconference on Intersectional Political Economy: New Directions for Research and Teaching

We invite you to join our *ICA Preconference on Intersectional Political 
Economy: New Directions for Research and Teaching, in Cape Town on Thu, 
June 4, 1-5 pm in the conference hotel. *The preconference is organized 
by the Feminist Scholarship Division and the Activism, Communication, 
and Social Justice Division.

*This pre-conference celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Feminist 
Scholarship Division and the 1st anniversary of the Activism, 
Communication, and Social Justice Division in 2026 by focusing on new 
directions for researching and teaching the contexts of inequalities in 
media through political economy scholarship.* This half-day hands-on 
event will convene participants to explore ways of researching and 
teaching about structural inequalities in media policies, ownership, 
management, and financing through the lenses of gender, race, class, and 
nationality. Traditional political economy scholars have been slow to 
recognize the varied ways that gender, race, nationality and other 
aspects of intersectionality are imbricated in this approach to media 
inquiry, particularly in a variety of global contexts.


Confirmed panelists and panel chairs include both established and 
emerging political economy scholars from the Global South, Europe, and 
the Unites States. The pre-conference design includes presentation and 
discussion. The agenda includes a Research-in-dialogue keynote, Research 
Panel, Coffee Break, Teaching Panel, and Open Exchange Blue Sky.

The registration fee is $46 (incl. taxes), to ensure an on-site spot, 
with a coffee break, and the room with basic tech equipment. No paper 
submission needed.

*We would love to see you there!*
