The workshop aims to explore the role of media and gender in developmentalism, an ideological framework that became dominant between the 1950s and the 1990s to conceptualise, discuss, and tackle global inequality. The workshop seeks to contribute to the debates on the decolonisation of research and scholarship in the humanities and social sciences and offer new opportunities for exchange by placing media and gender at the centre of discussions of developmentalism. It welcomed scholars working on different types of media (film, television, radio, digital media etc), situated within a wide historical period (1945 on), and a variety of geographic and geopolitical positions.
