WOMEN'S MEDIA STUDIES NETWORK: 10TH ANNIVERSARY EVENT Mediating Women, War and Terror 12 September 2011, 1pm - 6pm, De Montfort University Leicester, Hugh Aston Building room 1.50 This is an event hosted by the MeCCSA Women’s Media Studies Network and De Montfort University’s Media Discourse Group. It commemorates the inauguration of the Network at Derby University on the same day ten years ago. The event examines the media’s role and representations of women throughout the last decade of conflict. It offers sessions introduced by media practitioners and researchers to discuss issues surrounding women, war and terror on film, television and the print media. Showcasing Women, a popular feature of earlier Network events, is making a welcome return. It provides an opportunity for women to advertise their own work, ask for colleagues to collaborate with them, or publicise any forthcoming activity they're involved in. So please bring material and information with you for display and distribution. All women welcome. In addition, you may wish to come earlier in the day for a morning session to hear the Media Discourse Group present its research between 11-12 am. See the programme for the whole day below.
