Reflections On Feminist Communication And Media Scholarship

This collection brings together ten of the most distinguished feminist scholars whose work has been celebrated for its excellence in helping to lay the foundation of feminist communication and media research. This edited volume features contributions by the ten renowned communication and media scholars that have received the Teresa Award for the Advancement of Feminist Scholarship: Patrice Buzzanell, Meenakshi Gigi Durham, Radha Hegde, Dafna Lemish, Radhika Parameswaran, Lana Rakow, Karen Ross, Leslie Steeves, Linda Steiner, and Angharad Valdivia. These distinguished scholars reflect on the contributions they have made to different subfields of media and communication scholarship, and offer invaluable insight into their own paths as feminist scholars. They each reflect on matters of power, agency, privilege, ethics, intersectionality, resilience, and positionality, address their own shortcomings and struggles, and look ahead to potential future directions in the field. Last but not least, they come together to discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women, marginalized people, and vulnerable populations, and to underline the crucial need for feminist communication and media scholarship to move beyond Eurocentrism toward an ethics of care and global feminist positionality. A comprehensive and inspiring resource for students and scholars of feminist media and communication studies.
