Dear colleagues,
Women, Ageing and Media International Research Summer School (2015)
Overview:
The 2015 International Women, Ageing and Media (WAM) Research Summer School (at the University of Gloucestershire) will take place in Cheltenham (UK) on 20th and 21st July and will bring together international postgraduate researchers across disciplines whose research engages with women and ageing.
The Summer School has the general theme of ‘space and place’ and welcomes research papers that engage with this theme in relation to older women and:
Screen cultures
Technologies
Popular music
Popular Culture
Cultural activity
Creativity
Lived experience
We are delighted to announce that Professor Barb Marshall (Trent University, Canada) will also be participating and will provide the keynote presentation as part of our programme.
The Summer School will provide excellent opportunities for postgraduate researchers to make important connections with other researchers working in the field of Ageing Studies and, in addition to presenting work, there will be research training workshops exploring methods and conceptual issues relating to women and ageing studies. All participants will be expected to publish their reworked presentations or creative output in the Postgraduate Journal of Women, Ageing and Media as an event outcome.
Call for abstracts:
Proposals for 20 minute presentations are invited from doctoral and early career researchers at any stage of their work and from any discipline whose topics are relevant to the conference theme and approaches as outlined above.
Presentations may take the form of papers, posters, films and multimedia presentations.
Please submit an abstract of 200 words by 31st May 2015 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
Your abstract details should include:
· Your name, email address, institutional affiliation and, if applicable, year of study (please indicate if your research centre is a member of the ACT partnership)
