"How far have we come in fostering gender-aware education in our academic contexts? How relevant is communication research in supporting education to address the challenges of gender equality across societies? What directions, and methods, should critical analysis take to expose and address old and new forms of resistance to gender equality and gender mainstreaming? How have these forms of resistance been reshaped in the pandemic context and how are they currently operating across sectors, within and beyond academia? In the post-Covid-19 context, what pedagogical models and online methods can we use in our educational work and in conducting research on gender and media, so as to make knowledges even more open and shared? How can our education and research activities intersect (inform and respond to) ongoing efforts to foster a New Gender Deal for Media and Digital? Conferences, workshop and events.
These are some of the questions that this IAMCR event will explore over two days. The event is jointly organised by the IAMCR Gender and Communication Section, the IAMCR Task Force for GAMAG, and the UNESCO UniTWIN on Gender Media and ICT, in collaboration with the AGEMI project . The event reflects the shared concerns and willingness to collaborate amongst different realities and networks, within and outside academia, in making feminist pedagogies, methodologies and educational practices a strategic pillar in the implementation of a ‘New Gender Deal’ in the field of media and communication."
