*Call for submissions*

This one-day BSA Early Career Forum event provides an 
inter/cross-disciplinary platform to explore different ways we come to 
know, understand, collaborate on and communicate research of the 
gendered nature of sports media, in particular the representation of 
femininity. It will bring together early career researchers and 
academics from range of disciplines (including, but not limited to, 
sociology, cultural studies, human geography and politics) who are 
interested in exploring the construction of gendered identity in modern 
mediated sport, and who would like to make an ongoing contribution to an 
inter-disciplinary understanding of sports media.

*Submissions: ***We welcome 15-minute papers, multi-media or documentary 
presentations which address the study of the gendered nature of sports 
media, including but not limited to such topics as:

  * Methodological innovation
  * Pathways to inter-disciplinary collaboration
  * Sharing outcomes with media practitioners
  * Gender bias in sports media industries
  * Sports media representation of female non-athletes
  * Sports media, gender and race
  * The impact of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements in Sports media
  * Inclusive and exclusive framing of trans athletes

It is hoped that the symposium will lead to a special edition of Ethical 
Space: The International Journal of Communication Ethics.
