Hi Harry,
No. I said I would do bookable tutorials. If you'd like one, I'm in tomorrow and could do about 2.15.

*‘Anyone can edit’. Not everyone does: Wikipedia and the gender gap.*
Feminist STS has long established that science’s provenance as a male
domain continues to define what counts as knowledge and expertise.
Wikipedia, arguably one of the most powerful sources of information today,
was initially lauded as providing the opportunity to rebuild knowledge
institutions by providing greater representation of multiple groups. Yet,
less than ten percent of Wikipedia editors are women and large parts of the
developing world remain underrepresented on Wikipedia. This talk takes as
its starting point work co-authored by Heather Ford and the feminist
Science and Technology Studies scholar, Judy Wajcman. The goal is to
present a consolidated analysis of the gendering of Wikipedia using the
literature of platform and infrastructure studies and to suggest a method
for analyzing the origins of bias on platforms.

Subject: CFP - New Feminist Studies Journal
CALL FOR PAPERS! Please forward to your networks:
A critique of our own? On the epistemic habits of academic feminism
Special Issue of the Dutch Journal of Feminist Studies 1, Autumn 2017
http://www.lectitojournals.com/dutch-journal-of-feminist-studies
Guest Editors: Marianne Liljeström, Professor of Gender Studies, University of Turku, and Salla Peltonen, MA, Gender Studies, Åbo Akademi University, Finland
Founding Editor: Sally R Munt, University of Sussex UK
Deadlines: 1 page abstracts by November 20th 2016
Manuscript submission (6,000-9,000 words) February 1st 2017.
Please send abstracts to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> and/or [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
This special issue of the Dutch Journal of Feminist Studies on feminist critique and epistemic habits focuses critically on current discussions within the field of gender studies and the state of feminist critique.
We are looking for submissions that identify, discuss, air, and interrogate the topical question of critique and its relation to feminist knowledge production. The theme issue aims to address questions such as:
· How is critique currently understood, defined, envisioned and practiced within feminist academic frameworks.
· What is at stake in the politics of feminist knowledge production when it comes to unravelling its epistemological foundations?
· What role does, for example, suspicion, deconstruction, de-familiarisation, destabilisation, denaturalisation, and antinormativity have as analytical concepts, and methods of feminist critique?
· What about affirmation, affect and the politics of temporality and futurity?
· How can we think about the decolonization of knowledges and methods within the field of academic feminism?
· What role does the undoing of the old and the envisioning of the new play in a political, ethical and epistemological sense?
· How can we develop and apply the concept of intersectionality in new directions?
· What role does critique play in the aftermath of the legacy of the hermeneutics of suspicion, Foucauldian historicism, and Butlerian performativity?
· What role does the frameworks of new materialist and Deleuzian feminism play in rethinking critique?
· How do queer feminists of color critiques address the epistemic habits of white academia?
Further, the special issue investigates if, for example, the aforementioned concepts have become routinized methods, thinking habits, and reading techniques, that overdefine feminist knowledge production and critique. Thus, the issue will discuss the effects of the critical stance of academic feminism: what expectations are connected to feminist critique as effective, affective, operational and working for political changes in and outside academia?
Any contributions that critically approach questions of the disciplinary apparatus of academic feminism, are welcome. We particularly welcome submissions that deal with ‘race’/ethnicity, and also contributions from scholars working in the global south.
The Dutch Journal of Feminist Studies aims to promote excellence in feminist research. We welcome articles that engage with political and cultural issues, and that seek to challenge social norms of gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, class and disability, and which promote themes of equality, diversity, and social justice.
The Dutch Journal of Feminist Studies encourages interdisciplinarity, and the use of feminist methodologies in research. Articles to be submitted should be grounded in the empirical and theoretical exploration of gender and its lived experience within a range of cultural contexts. We also welcome research on narrative, representation, and discourse that critically analyses the construction, maintenance and reinforcement of gendered normativities. The journal particular encourages articles that provide information on historical and current political struggles, activisms, and critical social engagements.
Articles to be submitted for peer review should be between 7,000-9000 words in length, including all references, footnotes, and accompanying material. If illustrations are included, please allow 250 words per figure and ensure that you have copyright permissions. For general enquiries please email to the managing editor via [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.

Subject: CFP Locating Tween Girls DEADLINE APPROACHING
*REMINDER: DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS 1 NOVEMBER*
*Girlhood Studies**: An interdisciplinary Journal*
*Call for Papers: Locating Tween Girls*
http://journals.berghahnbooks.com/_uploads/ghs/ghs_cfp_tween.pdf
<https://email.le.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?C=pIcHQ50YEnAhz8ZUbDzGHTXEEuoQX0m46TVf4xcUd6S7YF_b7ObTCA..&URL=http%3a%2f%2fjournals.berghahnbooks.com%2f_uploads%2fghs%2fghs_cfp_tween.pdf>
For more than a decade, early tween studies in the culture of girlhood span
from Mitchell and Reid- Walsh (2005) to the contemporary work of Natalie
Coulter (2014) and Melanie Kennedy (forthcoming), so we invite articles
that explore the spaces and places of tween girls.
Positioned in the liminal spaces between childhood and adolescence, the
tween girl, aged roughly between 7 and 12, is a discursively constructed
consumer subject with her own distinct cultures and experiences. She is a
marketized subjectivity of pre adolescence. While the tween has been
recognized as a significant figure since the early twenty-first century,
most of the research on girls in the field of girlhood studies assumes that
the girl is the teenage one and this means that work on the younger
preadolescent girl has been minimal and/or marginalized. Part of this may
be the result of methodological issues related to the difficulty of
accessing young girls, as well as the tendency to treat the cultures of
younger girls as frivolous since the rebellion and resistance of the
(usually older) can-do girl that is the focus of so much work in girls’
studies appears less overtly at the tween stage. A further reason may be
that tween media culture is perceived, largely, as being corporate media
culture.
The primary goal of this special issue of Girlhood Studies is to address
these oversights by focusing specifically on the cultures, politics, and
experiences of pre-adolescent girls in their own right, rather than as an
extension to or subcategory of children or teenage girls. It will pro- vide
a timely opportunity to explore the significance to girlhood studies of the
development of tweenhood and to question the continued usefulness of the
definitions of tweens offered in academic writing and popular discourses at
the turn of the twenty-first century.
This issue will raise critical questions on the tween girl and her position
in the field of girlhood studies.
-
How do we define the pre-adolescent girl and the tween in this field?
-
Do studies on the tween girl push a reframing of the field of girlhood
studies?
-
What methodologies are required in the study of tweens and preadolescent
girls?
-
How do we work with the discursive framings of the tween girl who has
been a predominantly Western, white, middle-class, heteronormative,
able-bodied subject?
These questions lead to broader questions on the lived experiences of
actual girls.
-
How do girls engage with, negotiate, or resist the framing of the tween
as, largely, a Western, white, middle-class, heteronormative, able-bodied
subject?
-
What do girls do with the tween cultures produced for them but rarely by
them? Where are the spaces in which pre-adolescent girls produce their own
cultures?
-
How do girls weave tweenness—as a potential resource of
subjectivity—into and out of their experiences of everyday life?
We are particularly interested in work that incorporates the voices of
girls themselves.
Potential topics for this issue include, but are not limited to:
-
the question of girls as a category
-
the tween in postfeminist spaces
-
the pre-adolescent girl within & beyond commodification
-
global or local tweenhoods & tween cultures
-
the language and methods specific to tween research
-
theorizing the tween & tweening theory
-
the potential of a pretween subjectivity
-
tweenhood as a site of subjectivity
-
the tween as a potentially neoliberal subject
-
tween resistances and rebellions
-
the materialities of tweenhood
-
media for, about, or by tweens
-
tween media cultures & the cultural industries of the tween girl
(advertising, retail, marketing, media, digital media, gaming)

Subject: Book announcement - The British School Film
With apologies for cross-posting – and self-promotion.
List subscribers may (or may not) be interested in my latest
book, just published by Palgrave, entitled
THE BRITISH SCHOOL FILM: From
Tom Brown to Harry Potter
Representations of Secondary Education in British Cinema
By Stephen Glynn
About the book:
Through a close analysis of British feature
films spanning a century, this book explores how pupils, teachers and secondary
education in general have been represented on the British cinema screen. The
author addresses a number of topics including the nature of public (fee-paying)
and state schooling; the values of special, single-sex and co-education; the
role of male and female teachers; and the nature of childhood and adolescence
itself. From the silents of Hitchcock to the sorcery of Harry Potter, British
cinema’s continued exploration of school life highlights its importance in the
nation’s everyday experience and imaginary landscape. Beyond this, the school
film, varying in scope from low-budget exploitation to Hollywood-financed
blockbusters, serves both as a prism through which one can trace major shifts
in the British film industry and as a barometer of the social and cultural
concerns of the cinema-going public. This applies especially for gender, race
and, in all senses, class.
Further details available from the Palgrave Macmillan
website:
http://www.palgrave.com/gb/book/9781137558862#aboutBook
Whether or not your own education resembles St. Trinian’s or Kes, If…. or The Fallling, a chance to revisit – and re-evaluate - your teenage
years?
Yours,

Subject: New Book - Agatha Christie on Screen
Dear all,
Some of you may be interested in my new book, Agatha Christie on Screen, published by Palgrave Macmillan. It's due out in paperback and hardback on 25 November (or thereabouts) but is already available for the Kindle. Promo info below:
Agatha Christie on Screen is a comprehensive exploration of 90 years of film and television adaptations of the world's best-selling novelist's work. Drawing on extensive archival material, it offers new information regarding both the well-known and forgotten screen adaptations of Agatha Christie's stories, including unmade and rare adaptations, some of which have been unseen for more than half a century. This history offers intriguing insights into the discussions and debates that surrounded many of these screen projects - something that is brought to life through previously unpublished correspondence from Christie herself and a new wide-ranging interview with her grandson, Mathew Prichard. Agatha Christie on Screen takes the reader on a journey from little known silent film adaptations, through to famous screen productions including 1974's Murder on the Orient Express, as well as the television series of the Poirot and Miss Marple stories and, most recently, the BBC's acclaimed version of And Then There Were None.
"Mark Aldridge's book uncovers many hitherto unknown facts about screen adaptations of Agatha Christie. It is an important addition to Christie scholarship and required reading for all admirers of the Queen of Crime." (Dr. John Curran, author of Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks)
"The book is a mine of information. As well as a fascinating insight into the history of Agatha Christie adaptations, the book also throws much light on the whole area adaptation and its participants on every side of the fence." (Mathew Prichard, grandson of Agatha Christie)
All the best,
Mark

are excited to announce a one day cinema, media and urbanism symposium.
Life in the contemporary metropolis poses a range of challenges such as
overpopulation, pollution, gentrification, urban sprawl and socio-political
conflict. While it is widely acknowledged that cinema and media play an
active role in efforts to negotiate these environmental obstacles, just how
and to what effect they do so remains an open and fertile field of academic
research. A series of papers, including keynote presentations by Prof Myria
Georgiou (LSE) and Dr Lawrence Webb (University of Sussex), will aim to
reposition vital elements of this evolving debate and analyse the current
impact of cinema and media on the world’s cities in crisis. This one day
symposium will conclude with a screening of Enrico Masi's* Sur Les Jeux
Olympiques *and a wine reception.

aspects of the research process open to all possible interested parties.
It involves innovative approaches to communicating results and sharing
outputs. It is about accessibility, inclusivity, citizen science, public
engagement, radical transparency, reproducibility, data sharing, social
media and more.
Supported by the British Academy, this event aims to inspire and educate
researchers across all disciplines on how to benefit from opening up
their research. Attendance is free, with free lunch, a free wine
reception and great prizes to be won.

Subject: Film Studies Teaching Replacement in Beijing between December and January
Dear subscribers,
Apologies for this cross-posting.
I am looking for someone to replace me for a one-month teaching post in Beijing with the Sino-Australia Educational Exchange Association between December 23 - January 23. This post is responsible for teaching two modules in English: Studies in Filming, and the History of Chinese cinema (undergraduate level). This would be a great opportunity/excuse to travel around Beijing as the accommodation will be covered, alongside a decent salary. Sadly, I have to give this up due to my current work obligation.
If you are are interested in this opportunity, please do not hesitate to contact me, and I shall provide more details.
With kind regards,
Hiu Man Chan
