Our next email digest is scheduled for May 5, 2017. 1. Call for participation: Training workshop: New media and gender studies 2017 A training workshop sponsored by the Harvard-Yenching Institute, the School of Journalism at Fudan University, the Graduate School at Fudan University, and the Center for International Publishing Studies, Fudan University. Time and location:June 9 to 16, 2017, Fudan University, Shanghai, China Website: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/training-workshop-new-media-and-gender-studies Application deadline: May 10, 2017Number of participants: 20 (younger scholars in the field and PhD researchers from both China and other countries) Fee: With the aim of cultivating young talent, promoting gender equality, enhancing international exchange, and promoting the notion of public welfare, this workshop will be free to its participants. Participants will, however, be expected to cover their own transportation and accommodation. End of the workshop: After submitting a written report of the course content, each participant will be granted a certificate of completion of the ‘New Media, and Gender Studies’ Workshop. Aims of the Workshop:Since the beginning of the 21st Century, the network-outsourcing model has transformed the previously closed and monopolized modes of production into open and sharing ones. With corporate boundaries being pushed, organizations will view broader communities as the ‘new world’. Online communities are now able to organize people, constituting the most efficient unit of media production. Meanwhile, with the unprecedented “global expansion” of media conglomerates, the trends of commercialization, privatization, centralization, and deregulation in the communications industry have intensified, rather than declined. They have become increasingly integrated with publication, broadcasting and information services. The most up-to-date methods of business administration, including processes such as production, marketing, financing and accounting, have penetrated every dimension of the media. Through the penetration of the communications industry, a new form of hierarchical organization is being established worldwide. Media organizations’ goal of profit-making have been further integrated into the disciplinary power of capitalism, the hegemony of heteronormativity and patriarchy. Living in specific social contexts, individuals are likely to feel the control of the political and economic systems, but not necessarily to see the gender order shaped by media, as well as its complex and subtle control mechanisms. The gender order tends to be integrated into economic interests, political goals and cultural norms. Moreover, the power hierarchy of social gender is mutually intersected with the hypocrisy and exclusivity hidden in the notions of class, race, nation, region and citizenship. The “Fudan – Harvard-Yenching Institute Training Workshop on 'New Media and Gender Studies'" is intended to both enrich the theoretical quality of critical media studies, and to contribute to policy planning and practices. Reflecting on globalization and international references, academic and theoretical works focused on the field of “media and gender studies” will provide new insights and perspectives to enrich Chinese academia. They will help to broaden the theoretical horizon of China’s communications research, to intervene in the reproduction of the existing social order, to seek out forces for social transformation in Chinese society, and to critically analyze the processes of ‘knowledge’ production. All these will enhance the teaching of gender equality and its topics exploration in the future. Advisers, invited scholars and participants can be found at: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/training-workshop-new-media-and-gender-studies Application and enrollment: Please download the application form, filling in your personal information and your supervisors’ recommendation (Young scholars who have started work in academic or professional institutions do not need supervisors’ recommendations). Please send the scanned e-version to: [email protected] by May 10th, 2017. 2. Call for participation: Pairing with colleagues, the Health Communication Division, ICA 2017 For ICA 2017 participants: We hope you are looking forward to the upcoming ICA Conference in San Diego! As part of the conference, I'd like to introduce you to a new program that we are hosting in the Health Comm Division called Pairing with Colleagues. It’s a mentor / mentee program pairing senior members of the division with junior members of the division. Here’s how it works. 1. Right now, we’re soliciting volunteers to serve as mentors. Mentors can be anyone who feels like they have expertise to share in the area of health communication. This could be expertise in the area of teaching or research. You don’t have to have tenure in order to be considered a mentor! If you are willing to sign up as a mentor, you are agreeing to meet your mentee a minimum of one time face-to-face at the health communication reception or some other agreed-upon time during the San Diego conference. Don’t, worry, you are not signing up to hang out with your mentee during the entire conference! However, we hope that you will take the opportunity to introduce your mentee to others in the division when the times and situations are appropriate and keep your eye out for them if you see them during the conference. If you are willing to serve as a mentor please fill out this short survey at https://tinyurl.com/2017Pairing by Monday, April 10th. 2. Once we’ve secured our mentors, we’ll do some organizing and generate a list of mentors. 3. We’ll invite junior mentees to select their senior mentor. Junior mentees are anyone who feel like they could use some advice in the area of health communication. You don't have to be a student to sign up as a mentee. Hopefully, mentors and mentees will have a chance to exchange an email before arriving at ICA. The health communication reception is happening Friday night and we encourage all mentor/mentee pears to meet in person at the reception. Note: anyone who participates in the Pairing with Colleagues Program will be guaranteed a drink coupon at the reception! P.S. if this seems familiar, our program is modeled off of the highly successful Pairing with Colleagues Program at the International Conference on Communication in Healthcare. Thanks to Marcy Rosenbaum at UIowa and ICCH for sharing. Please send any questions you have to Evelyn Ho, ICA HC Chair [email protected] 3.
