Angela McRobbie is Professor of Communications at Goldsmiths 
College, University of London, UK. Her unparalleled contribution to the study of 
gendered media spans 4 decades: from her seminal 1978 study of teen 
magazines, Jackie: an ideology of adolescent 
femininity, and the influential Postmodernism and popular 
culture (1994), to her forthcoming new book Feminism, femininity and the 
perfect (2015: Sage). 
 
Feona 
Attwood is Professor of Cultural Studies, Communication and Media at Middlesex 
University, UK.  Her research in the area of sex in contemporary culture; 
sexualization; new technologies; and controversial media has been foundational 
to feminist media studies having edited books such as Controversial Images: 
Media Representations on the Edge (2013) and Mainstreaming Sex: The 
Sexualization of Western Culture (2009) and the recently launched Routledge 
journal Porn Studies. 
 
This conference follows on from 
those held at Kingston (2012) and Cornell (2013), themed around women and 
magazines. We have selected a theme that will allow for a wide range of papers 
and we encourage submissions from scholars at all stages of their careers. We 
especially welcome proposals that incorporate the following 
themes: 
	* advertising 
	* celebrity 
	* digital platforms 
	* fashion 
	* food 
	* internationalisation 
	* marketing 
	* memoirs and autobiography 
	* sport 
	* all forms 
of identity/representational 
politics. 
The organisers encourage 
collaborative efforts, in both individual paper and panel 
submissions. 
  
This conference will also 
incorporate a poster session that will allow participants to feature visual 
aspects of magazines. Queries about this mode of presentation and abstract of 
150-250 words can be directed to [log in to unmask] by 
1 October 2014. 
 
The will be a small bursary that PhD students can 
apply to for help towards travel costs. 
 
Should there be sufficient interest we will 
consider the possibility of publishing an edited collection after the 
conference. 
  
The conference will be held at 
Oxford Brookes University and is jointly sponsored by Oxford Brookes University 
(UK), Arcadia University (US), and the University of East Anglia (UK). For
