Section Gender and Communication - News
The mission of the Gender and Communication Section is to foster and encourage any and all aspects of scholarship relating to the nexus of gender and communication. This Section aims to encourage the conduct and dissemination of research that uses gender as a primary thematic in work around media, culture and communication; to encourage and nurture younger scholars and those from developing countries interested in aspects of gender-media to participate in the academic community via attendance at conferences.
This Section’s members are concerned to transcend the often artificial boundaries that give rise to divisions in the conduct of social science. They are committed to avoiding racial, ethnic, national, gender, ideological or philosophical descriptions. Because this Section is centrally concerned with how gender considerations and identities are reproduced and consumed through media production and consumption, members’ papers yield new insights into the way similarity and difference are experienced in the everyday lives of audiences.

Paris 2007 - Gender and Communication Section Call for Papers
Paris 2007 - Gender and Communication Section Call for Papers
Given space limitations, it may not be possible to accommodate all proposals. For this reason, proposals for complete panels and/or round tables are particularly encouraged. In addition, panels focusing on UNESCO communication policies vis-Ã -vis gender may receive favorable attention, as will those individual papers which emphasize the relationship between gender and the conference theme.
We particularly seek papers which balance theory and practice.
We have asked the Audience Section to join together in developing a joint session for Paris 2007. Our hope is to solicit papers that re-evaluate the last 50 years of research about gender and reception (although other panel ideas are certainly welcome).
Questions about submissions or suggestions for panels should be directed to Section Co-Chairs Todd Holden and Ellen Riordan. For the joint session with the Audience Studies section, you may also contact Virginia Nightingale.
