The Gender and Communication Section cordially invites all scholars who address issues within the broad theme of ECREA’s 2nd international congress - Communication policies and culture in Europe - from a gender perspective to submit proposals.

The Section Gender and Communication aims to bring together scholars who approach issues within the field of communication with a specific interest in gender. Gender is conceptualized in a broad sense. The section specifically seeks inclusivity in relation to gender studies issues (among which: ethnicity, identity politics, queer studies, gender in media industries, feminist media studies, popular culture studies, post-structural theory, philosophical questions).

This invitation for proposals is for individual papers and posters as well as for pre-organised panels, from established academics, young scholars, practitioners and postgraduate research students.

Individual paper proposals, individual poster proposals and panel proposals can be also submitted.

Notifications of acceptance will be sent out in mid-April 2008, and registration will open after December 1, 2007.

Paper-presenters and panellists will be asked to confirm their intention to attend by registering before October 24, 2008, in order to be able to finalise the conference programme.

Deadline for submissions is 15 February, 2008.
