DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: January 30, 2011
Women and the Media
The Journal of Interdisciplinary Feminist Thought ( http://escholar.salve.edu/jift
<http://escholar.salve.edu/jift/>
) invites contributions for its next issue: "Women and
the Media." We are seeking papers that trace both the positive and
negative influences that the media has had on the expected behavior of women
over the course of time. The media, whether in print, TV, radio or
electronic sources, represents one of the most powerful influences on
contemporary attitudes and thinking. We are especially interested in analyzing
how stories about women are reported in the media and how some stories may
reflect unconscious biases and prejudices toward women.
Papers reflecting the interests of all disciplines are welcome. Manuscripts should
evidence original and current scholarship, be 20-25 pages in length, typed, and
formatted according to the accepted method for the discipline. All submissions
should include an abstract of 50 -100 words.
We encourage collaboration, and welcome scholarly works of joint authorship, or
papers coauthored with student researchers
Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following:
* Women in Politics: Campaign
coverage of women candidates
* Eating Disorders: How the
Media portrays and manipulates images of the "Ideal Woman"
* "Bitch or
Aggressive": Language differences in describing women in power
* Film and Video portrayals of
women "archetypes"
* Historical overview of
changes in media coverage of women over time
* Women at the Helm: What
differences do women executives, editors and writers have on the media world?
* Women, the media and
institutional change
* The absence of marginalized
women's voices and experiences in the media
Submit all manuscripts, electronically, to co-editors: Dr. Carol Shelton ([log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>)
