In conjunction with the Doing Women’s Film & Television History V 
conference of 2020, we are inviting contribute articles, shorter pieces 
or podcasts to this guest issue of Alphaville. In this issue we want to 
visit these themes through three approaches or strands:
• Methodological approaches to women’s film and television histories 
(for example, concerns with historical approaches and methods, emerging 
digital methodologies, etc.)
• Theoretical concerns in and approaches to women’s film and television 
histories (for example, challenging traditional theoretical approaches 
such as auteurism, or adopting new or alternative theoretical 
approaches, etc.)
• Pedagogical approaches to or concerns with women’s film and television 
histories (for example, concerns with education more broadly or with 
teaching and learning more specifically)
Call for papers:

Third Cinema and grassroots film and television production

education to employment in film and television
