Call for Papers: Women, HIV, Globalization, and Media
We are inviting submissions for a special issue of Feminist Media Studies
on Women, HIV, Globalization, and Media. This project extends the
important contribution of feminist media scholars to critical perspectives
on the AIDS pandemic by bringing together work concerned with the
structures, inequalities, and geographies of globalization. We are
seeking contributions using a range of theoretical, topical, and
methodological approaches and working from a variety of perspectives on
local-global relationships.
Subjects in which we are interested include, but are not limited to:
--Different forms of media and their implication in a variety of
institutional and/or community settings
--The relationship between women and gender as analytic categories
--The relationship between media, activism, and public policy
--Feminist methodological and analytic frames
--Comparative approaches examining different national, regional, and/or
cultural contexts
--Perspectives on migration, transnationalism, globalization, or other
models for examining women, HIV, and media within and across national
borders
--New technologies and issues of accessibility
--NGOs, governments, international health organizations, or other
organizations concerned with AIDS policy
--Issues of production, distribution, and reception

Feminist Media Studies is a major peer-reviewed journal, published by
Routledge and edited by Lisa McLaughlin (Miami University-Ohio) and
Cynthia Carter (Cardiff University-Wales). The journal offers a
transdisciplinary, transnational forum for researchers pursuing feminist
approaches to the field of media and communication studies, with attention
to the historical, philosophical, cultural, social, political, and
economic dimensions and analysis of sites including print and electronic
media, film and the arts, and new media technologies. Feminist Media
Studies brings together scholars and professionals from around the world
to engage with feminist issues and debates in media and communication. Its
editorial board and contributors reflect a commitment to the facilitation
of international dialogue among researchers, through attention to local,
national and global contexts for critical and empirical feminist media
inquiry. For more information about Feminist Media Studies, visit
