The Feminist and Women's Studies Association (UK & Ireland) 20th Annual
Conference

  Feminism and Popular Culture

University of Newcastle (June 29th-July 1st, 2007)



Keynote Speakers

Pamela Church Gibson Jackie Stacey Yvonne Tasker Imelda Whelehan



The popular straddles disciplines, drawing together research that might
otherwise remain discretely sited. This conference will interrogate how
the popular and feminism has been understood, articulated and
represented both in contemporary cultures and throughout history.
Interdisciplinary in its approach, the conference will bring together
scholars working in the arts, humanities and social sciences.



 From molls to grrrls, from blue-stockings to blue movies, abstracts

are invited on all aspects of gender, feminism, women and popular

culture. We welcome proposals for papers which investigate the

representation of feminism in popular culture as well as papers which
theorise

the relationship between feminism and the popular.



Possible Topics:




The Girlie
