Description

Pollies in the Glossies: How Aussie Women’s Magazines Frame The Political. At a time when women's participation in politics is crucial, this project aims to explore the role of Australian women’s magazines in shaping political discourse. By combining archival research, focus groups and interviews, this project expects to generate new knowledge on how women’s magazines frame politics, how politicians use these platforms, and how they impact women’s political engagement. Expected outcomes include a website, exhibition, academic publications, and development of a documentary. The project will provide social and cultural benefits through a comprehensive analysis of political narratives in women’s magazines, enhancing public access to these histories and raising awareness of their political significance.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4405 - Gender Studies. Lead: Dr Blair Williams
