[Commlist] cfp: Gender in Media and Communications in the digital age: Post-pandemic trajectories in education, research and advocacy

*Call for Papers*  - Gender in Media and Communications in the digital 
age: Post-pandemic trajectories in education, research and advocacy @ 
Complutense University of Madrid in person and online: Wednesday 28 and 
Thursday 29 September 2022

*Background*

How far have we come in fostering gender-aware education in our academic 
contexts? How relevant is communication research in supporting education 
to address the challenges of gender equality across societies? What 
directions, and methods, should critical analysis take to expose and 
address old and new forms of resistance to gender equality and gender 
mainstreaming? How have these forms of resistance been reshaped in the 
pandemic context and how are they currently operating across sectors, 
within and beyond academia? In the post-Covid-19 context, what 
pedagogical models and online methods can we use in our educational work 
and in conducting research on gender and media, so as to make knowledges 
even more open and shared? How can our education and research activities 
intersect (inform and respond to) ongoing efforts to foster a New Gender 
Deal for Media and Digital? In our institutions, we’ve experienced the 
many issues of ‘care’ that emerged from the experience – care for 
students, for colleagues, for networks, for ourselves - also 
highlighting how gendered relations played out on the new teaching and 
learning environment, affecting women and men differently.

These are some of the questions that this IAMCR event will explore over 
two days. The event is jointly organised by the IAMCR Gender and 
Communication Section, the IAMCR Task Force for GAMAG, and the UNESCO 
UniTWIN on Gender Media and ICT, <http://www.unitwin.net/who-we-are/> in 
collaboration with the AGEMI <https://www.agemi-eu.org/> project 
<https://www.agemi-eu.org/>. The event reflects the shared concerns and 
willingness to collaborate amongst different realities and networks, 
within and outside academia, in making feminist pedagogies, 
methodologies and educational practices a strategic pillar in the 
implementation of a ‘New Gender Deal’ in the field of media and 
communication. In summary, this event aims to encourage the exchange of 
recent experiences and practices and the dissemination of innovative 
pedagogical models and online teaching methods that use gender as a 
primary thematic in work around media, journalism and communication. 
With a specific focus on epistemologies and on (caring) methodologies 
that make use of online platforms and digital media, we welcome papers 
that offer pedagogical approaches to the study of gender, sexualities 
and intersectional forms of oppression in and through media production 
and consumption - including print and electronic media, film and 
television, advertising, and social media – within and beyond the 
pandemic context.

The event (conducted in hybrid form: in person and online) will comprise 
a first day of keynote speakers, panels, and roundtables. The second day 
will be dedicated to networking and discussing future collaborations 
amongst relevant networks in a more informal setting, so as to bridge 
academia and advocacy. A full description of the event and proposed 
schedule for both days can be found here.
