Course Description:
This module aims to explore the key theoretical, historical, contextual, and industry debates and trends concerning women, feminism, and the creative and cultural industries. The focus will be on (a) sketching out the arguments and discussions around the importance of creative and cultural practice and the implication of women’s under-representation from these realms and (b) focusing on specific industries, the second half of the module looks at the current landscape of women’s involvement in the CCIs and the ways in which women have sought to carve out a space for their own creative practice. The nature of this course is interdisciplinary and, as such, readings and resources are drawn from feminist studies, cultural studies, media studies, sociology, industry reports, and the work of creative women in various spheres.
