[Commlist] Call for Papers: Women and Leadership in the Creative Industries

What: An interdisciplinary symposium. Where: Bournemouth University, UK
When: 12th-13th September 2024
Deadline for Paper Proposals: January 29, 2024.
Brief Overview:
This symposium is designed to bring together from a range of disciplines 
including, but not limited to, media industries and production studies, 
business and management studies, organisational psychology and 
sociology. It is our hope that by sharing diverse perspectives on women 
and leadership in the creative industries, participants will make new 
discoveries, form new, interdisciplinary alliances and open up this 
under-explored topic to a wider audience – including stakeholders in the 
industries themselves.  With these aims in mind, the organisers propose 
a special issue in a relevant journal showcasing the work of 
contributors. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
-	Women in the leadership ‘pipeline’ – development, retention and 
‘resilience’.
-	The myth of meritocracy and how women’s progress is impacted by 
divergent standards and opportunities.
-	Sexism, sexual harassment and psychic safety. -	Specialisation and 
stereotyping: are women taking the ‘right’ roles? -	The operation of the 
motherhood penalty and career breaks on the leadership pipeline.
-	Work/life balance and the retention of mid-career women.
-	The ‘glass ceiling’ as limiting internal narrative and external obstacle.
-	Intersectionality, with particular emphasis on the experiences of
o	women of colour, o	women with disabilities,
o	older women,
o	LGBTQ and trans women,
o	Working-class women.
-	The impact of social capital and networks on women’s careers.
-	The impact of the concept of the ‘ideal worker’ within creative 
industries.
-	Management and leadership training: availability, efficacy, impact.
-	The operation of the ‘glass cliff’ and how women might avoid it.
-	Women and ‘creative leadership’.
