IAMCR - International Association for Media and Communication Research

Joint Session of the Gender and Communication Section & Political Economy Section

The IAMCR Sections of Gender and Communication & Political Economy wish tocontinue exploring connections between gender and the media and to push forward the scientific boundaries of these relations.

We therefore invite papers for a joint session on  ‘Patriarchy, Capitalism and Media’ looking for contributions that might illuminate how patriarchy and capitalism, in connection with media industries, serve as an impediment to the advancement of women. Central concepts for this session would include gender, capital and class. These critical conceptual spheres would be articulated with the highly complex processes of media production, consumption and representation.

Those who would like to submit a proposal for this joint session, please contact either of the following session coordinators:
