About the event

We're delighted to invite you to the book launch and discussion of 'Women and the Media in Jordan: Gender, Power, Resistance', written by Dr Ebtihal Mahadeen, Lecturer in Gender and Media Studies at the department of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies.

The book provides a feminist, critical study of how gender power relations are played out through and across multiple mediated arenas in the contemporary Middle East, with Jordan as its case study. It examines the dynamic relationship between women and the media as it manifests at three key levels: labour, representation, and activism.

At the launch, Dr Mahadeen will be joined in discussion by Professor Mary Holmes (University of Edinburgh) and Dr Sara Ababneh (University of Sheffield).

The discussion will be followed by a Q&A and reception.

The event is co-organised with genderED.
