The conference aims to explore key challenges and opportunities in researching women’s broadcasting histories, including the ‘limits of the archive’—the gaps and omissions in institutional and organisational archives regarding women’s work, the different national, linguistic and regional contexts in which women worked, and the value attributed to programming, labour and women audiences. We are inclusive in our definition of women.
We welcome papers and pre-constituted panels on any aspect of women’s broadcasting history. These include but are not limited to:
Women’s programmes on radio and television
Locating women in the archive
Intersectional approaches/queering histories
Women’s labour in broadcasting
Women and textual representation/genres
Women and broadcasting audiences
Transnational, transmedial and entangled histories of women’s broadcasting
