Gender and Media in the Arab World

This course provides a gender-centric analysis of various media (including print, broadcast, and online media) in the Arab world. Focusing on women in particular, the course will visit several central themes: Arab media as potential feminist counterpublics, representations of women in Arab media, Arab women's media activism, Arab women within media institutions, sexuality in Arab media, representations of Arab/Muslim women in Western media, and women in the media during the so-called Arab Spring. The course will highlight different approaches to the study of gender in Arab media, and will focus on critically assessing these approaches while grounding the analysis in the socio-economic realities of the Arab world today. Credit Level: 11 Year taken: Postgraduate
