FASS GSRC | CALL FOR PAPERS | 2027 Research Workshop on Gender, Youth and Media in Asia
CALL FOR PAPERS DEADLINE | 15 OCTOBER 2026, 1PM SINGAPORE TIME (SGT)
The Gender and Sexuality Research Cluster (GSRC) at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, National University of Singapore invites applications from all researchers for a Research Workshop on Gender, Youth, and Media in Asia. Individual papers and co-authored papers are welcome. Each person may only submit one abstract – whether single-authored or co-authored.
Participants will take part in a two-day conference and 1-day workshop, from 20 to 22 February 2027.
The proposed workshop will focus on interdisciplinary approaches to gender and sexuality research, and invites papers from scholars whose work connects to disciplines such as geography, linguistics, anthropology, communications, and media studies. In particular, the workshop will highlight research within three key streams (Media and Discourse, Youth and Society, and Borders and Boundaries), with a particular focus on Asia, and explore how these streams might intersect.
