Student Conference Gender in Popular Culture

Student Conference Gender in Popular Culture Student conference about the role of gender in popular culture. Are Sherlock and Dr. Watson more than friends? And can Thor be a woman?

STUDENT CONFERENCE / JANUARY 12-13, 2018 / MÜNSTER UNIVERSITY

Do Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj or Miley Cyrus contribute to feminist discourse? This student conference aims to address the role of gender in popular culture, how it is represented and read. We hope to foster discussion about the political power of such representations and their influence on cultural practices, their critical and subversive p

otential. This conference is organized by BA, MA and PhD students in the field of literary, cultural and media studies at the English Department of the University of Münster. With the department’s support, we intend to create a platform for students and young scholars to exchange ideas.

The conference is over and we hope that you have enjoyed it as much as we did (or at least half as much 😄). A special thanks to all the speakers and participants of the conference. It was a great turn-out and we had very fruitful discussions in the panels and great conversations throughout the whole conference. We wish you safe travels and we hope to see you all soon :)

We would also like to thank our sponsors again, which made this event possible: SAFIR, DAAD smartNETWORK, The Graduate School ”Practices of Literature“, the Gleichstellungsbüro (Equal Opportunities Office) of the WWU as well as Prof. Dr. Katja Sarkowsky of the Chair of American Studies.
In addition to these organizations there are too many individuals to list here but we really appreciate the help of all of you.
