Session Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
This session includes papers examining how gender is constructed, contested, and circulated across a range of media platforms and cultural contexts. Drawing on diverse methodological approaches, these papers investigate the ideological underpinnings of gender representation in U.S. news coverage, how the #MeToo movement has been framed by media outlets, discourse prevalent in men’s podcasts, depictions of masculinity in news narratives, and portrayals of mothers and fathers in children’s films. Taken together, these studies reveal the pervasive and multifaceted ways in which different kinds of media reflect, reinforce, and resist gendered power structures, ranging from the political arena to popular culture.
