Speakers were Milly, Deborah Philips (Brighton), Louise Smith (UEA) and Stacey Abbott (Roehampton). It re-examined the question of gender and media representation in light of a number of contemporary developments in film, television and journalism. Set in the context of a rise in inequality for women, progressive developments in gender representation were examined alongside a return to more regressive images of femininity. |
