Conferences/Events

Thursday 26th June 2026 - Friday 27th June 2026: The conference explores key challenges and opportunities in researching women’s broadcasting histories on an international scale. This is with focus on the ‘limits of the archive’—the gaps and omissions in institutional and organisational archives regarding women’s work, the different national, linguistic and regional contexts in which women worked, and the value attributed to programming, labour and women audiences. We are inclusive in our definition of women.
