International Conference “Gender in focus: (new) trends in media”
University of Minho (Braga, Portugal)
June 20-21, 2014

The Communication and Society Research Centre invites you to submit a proposal for a paper, panel or poster presentation to the upcoming International Conference “Gender in focus: (new) trends in media”.

Over the last decades, a considerable amount of research has been conducted on the relationship of gender with communication. However, new insights are still needed, especially those that explore the interrelations and negotiations between media and gender through the use of interdisciplinary and intersectional approaches.

This event aims to serve as a forum to discuss ideas, experiences and research results on gender and media, bringing together social sciences researchers, NGOs representatives and media professionals.

Invited Speakers:
António Fernando Cascais (New University of Lisbon, Portugal)
Carolyn Byerly (Howard University, USA)
Cláudia Álvares (Lusophone University of Humanities and Technologies, Portugal)
Karen Ross (Northumbria University, UK)
Maria João Silveirinha (University of Coimbra, Portugal)
