[Commlist] CFP: Women and Leadership in the Creative Industries

We invite contributions to an inclusive symposium exploring women and 
leadership in the creative industries.
This is the first event of its kind to encourage participation from 
researchers across the fields of including leadership and management, 
cultural theory, gender studies, psychology and sociology as well as 
those specific to the creative industries, including film and TV 
studies, performing and visual arts, production studies, gaming and 
creative technologies.
The symposium aims to bring together academics and researchers who have 
an interest in the important topic of women and leadership, in the 
specific context of the creative industries. The creative industries 
have significant social, cultural and economic impact and the role and 
influence of leadership within it, especially that of women, is yet to 
be fully explored. The symposium will adopt an inclusive perspective on 
‘leadership’ recognising that this is not limited to hierarchical roles 
in industries often characterised by freelance work and micro-businesses 
alongside more traditional institutions.  We are also interested in the 
experiences of women who do not yet identify as ‘leaders’, their routes 
into leadership and the barriers they may encounter along the way.
It is our hope that by sharing diverse perspectives on women and 
leadership in the creative industries, participants will make new 
discoveries, across different disciplines, form new, interdisciplinary 
alliances and open up this under-explored topic to a wider audience.
Keynote speakers for the symposium currently include Caroline Norbury 
OBE, Chief Executive of Creative UK and Dr Christina Scharff, Reader in 
Gender, Media and Culture at King’s College. A special issue in a 
relevant journal is being secured to showcase the work of contributors. 
The symposium will be hosted at Bournemouth University on Thursday 12 
and Friday 13 September 2024
Details of the symposium, including a full CFP, can be found on our
