The journal Feminist Media Studies invites authors to send papers on the topic “Feminism, media and care”.

“The gendered dynamics of care have long been, and continue to be, a key concern for feminist scholars, particularly as responsibilities for care labor still fall disproportionately on women”, the CFP announcement states.

[spoiler title=’Possible paper topics might include, but are not limited to, the following’ collapse_link=’true’]

• Gendered dynamics of care labor
• Care labor and media industries
• Care, ageing and gender
• Gendered discourses of care
• Media representations of care
• Neoliberalism, gender and care
• Implications of diverse intersectionalities including generation, race, class, sexuality, ability
