    Reality TV: A Constant Reinvention for Living in Real-Time?

    In this episode, host Sarah Banet-Weiser talks with Professor Eva Hageman and Professor Laurie Ouellette about their work on representation in reality TV and on identity in social media, respectively. They discuss how contemporary media impose a script for living but also offer a platform for social change. They problematize the social impact of reality TV by pointing out how some TV shows offer medical and financial resources to families who have been neglected by state institutions, but they also point out how this requires families to play the role of marginalized people.   Click here for the episode transcript.   Featuring Sarah Banet-Weiser Eva Hageman Laurie Ouellette   Sponsor: Annenberg Center for Collaborative Communication More from the host & speakers:  Sarah Banet-Weiser Distinguished Professor; Professor | Annenberg School for Communication; Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism  University of Pennsylvania; University of Southern California Twitter - @sbanetweiser   Eva Hageman Assistant Professor in the Department of American Studies and the Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies University of Maryland Laurie Ouellette Professor of Communication Studies and Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature, Department Chair University of Minnesota Twitter: @ProfOuellette Facebook: Laurie Ouellette Instagram: @lauriejean2016 Works referenced in episode:  Ouellette, L.

    Women and Whisper Networks: Anti-GBV Activism on College Campuses and Online

    In this episode, host Sarah Banet-Weiser talks with McGill researchers Carrie Rentschler and Emily Colpitts about how attitudes against gender-based violence (GBV) are changing. They examine how colleges respond to sexual violence on campus, and how student activism plays into university policy. They also discuss the intersection of social media in preventing GBV — and whether such technology can truly disrupt systems of sexual violence.    Click here for the episode transcript   Featuring Sarah Banet-Weiser Carrie Rentschler Emily Colpitts   Sponsor: Annenberg Center for Collaborative Communication More from the host & speakers:  Sarah Banet-Weiser Distinguished Professor; Professor | Annenberg School for Communication; Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism  University of Pennsylvania; University of Southern California Twitter - @sbanetweiser   Carrie Rentschler Associate Professor | Department of Art History & Communication Studies McGill University  Twitter - @RentschlerC Emily Colpitts SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow | Department of Art History & Communication Studies McGill University  Twitter - @emcolpitts Works referenced in episode:  Mitchell, C., & Rentschler, C.

    From the Ducking Stool to Digital Culture: Silence and Women’s Voices

    In this episode, host Sarah Banet-Weiser talks with guests Francesca Sobande and Jilly Kay about their recent research, including how Black women in Britain are creating their own digital spaces. They discuss the history of how women’s voices have been silenced in public spaces, from the ducking stool to the NDA, and the nuances of when silence becomes an active form of presence. They also discuss femvertising and the role of capitalism in feminist media — focusing throughout on the importance of parsing the contradictions of feminist scholarship.   Click here for the episode transcript   Featuring Sarah Banet-Weiser Francesca Sobande Jilly Kay   Sponsors Annenberg Center for Collaborative Communication More from the host & speakers:  Sarah Banet-Weiser Distinguished Professor; Professor | Annenberg School for Communication; Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism  University of Pennsylvania; University of Southern California Twitter - @sbanetweiser   Francesca Sobande  Lecturer | School of Journalism, Media, and Culture Cardiff University Twitter - @chess_ess @CardiffJomec @cardiffuni   Jilly Kay Lecturer | Department of Media and Communication University of Leicester Twitter - @jillybkay @deptmedialeic Works referenced in episode:  Kay, J.
