Launch of two new CAMRI Policy Briefs
With talks from Jacob Johanssen, Sally-Anne Gross and George Musgrave (University of Westminster)

Time: 17.00-19.00
Place: University of Westminster, 309 Regent Street, W1B 2HW
Room: UG04
Registration: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/launch-of-two-new-camri-policy-briefs-tickets-50175033877
This event will launch two new books, published by the University of Westminster Press, as part of the new CAMRI Policy Brief series, in which researchers from the Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI) at the University of Westminster will provide insights into their recent research and its findings.
The event will feature two presentations:
Jacob Johanssen will present recent research on attitudes towards disfigurement in the media. In the policy brief ‘Appearance, Discrimination and the Media’, he claims together with co-authors Diana Garrisi and Laima Janciute that the portrayal of disfigurement in the UK media must change. Policy recommendations in terms of editorial practices, media literacy education and regulation will be introduced.
Sally-Anne Gross and George Musgrave will highlight the findings of their project ‘Can Music Make You Sick?’, which investigated working conditions in the UK music industry. Based on the policy brief ‘Well-Being and Mental Health in the Gig Economy’, they will review policy measures that may help or harm gig economy workers. A much-needed debate needs to happen about the psychological implications of precarious work and this presentation aims to contribute to this.
The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session with the authors.
Printed copies of the policy briefs will be available for free at the event.
The event is free for anyone interested, registration via Eventbrite is required.
