Communication, culture and media are embedded in our everyday lives in 
ways we often do not realise. Whether we wake up and reach for our phone 
or think carefully about how to phrase that difficult sentence in an 
email these multiple forms of communication, culture and media are 
embedded in our everyday. Similarly, as children we are given a gender 
designation that affects our lives in innumerable everyday ways from 
toys, to sports, to conceptions of self and a sense of the choices 
available to us: our gender inflects our everyday experiences and 
engagements with our bodies and those around us, especially as we 
manoeuvre public and private spaces. In this conference, we invite 
research that draws attention to the intersections between gender, the 
everyday and the forms of communication, culture and media we engage in.

Inspired by recent activisms around gender that protest significant 
social, political and economic inequalities, for this Gender and the 
Everyday Conference, we invite papers on the familiar, intimate and the 
banal as well as the public and political, discussions of current events 
and controversies as well as lingering issues. We invite papers on a 
range of topics including, but not limited to:

• Representation(s), Genre, Form

• Organisational, local, national, international and/or global contexts

• Historical, social or cultural perspectives

• Theoretical, conceptual or methodological approaches

• Generation, youth and/or ageing

• Pedagogical approaches including teaching case studies

• Places, spaces and sites

• Activism, activists and interventions

• Sport, fitness, health and/or well-being

• Digital media and technology

• Troubling gender


Delegates will have the opportunity to submit a written version of their 
paper after the conference for possible inclusion in a special issue of 
Outskirts journal (http://www.outskirts.arts.uwa.edu.au
