ADA Journal opens its call for papers on Emerging Gender, Media and Technology Scholarship in Africa. Submit your papers on innovative gender practices in technology and media today to Ada Journal.
Application Deadline: 30th September 2018
Eligible Countries: All. African countries will be prioritised.
About the Award: This special issue will address studies of gender as these operate in African environments and cultures of media and technology. We are particularly interested in contributions that address the following:
- How does power operate through gendered spaces and practices?
- What kinds of innovative gender practices are created by those working in spaces of technologies and gender?
- How does gender operate in relation to different types of technologies—from technologies of home and school to technologies of culture that women undertake in social, community, religious and other groups?
- How can we interrogate practices of masculinity inscribed in media and technology?
- In what ways is feminism called up, perhaps through other terms in research on gender and power in African spaces? How can we study how gender power operates through technologies in African contexts?
- How are key issues in the gendered realms of family, health, environmentalism, and education addressed via media and technology?
