The Gender Games: Stories in/for the Contemporary World

A cross-institutional and inter-disciplinary research symposium convened by Deakin, Melbourne and Monash universities.

Gender is embedded in the narratives we use to construct and understand the world and our place within it. Across media forms, genres and societal institutions, stories about men, women, girls and boys permeate our lives. Sometimes these stories reinforce old ideas; sometimes they put forward new ones. Paper proposals are sought for The Gender Games, a cross-institutional symposium that aims to draw together a diverse range of scholars and research. The symposium offers opportunities for rich inter- and cross-disciplinary dialogue on the ways in which contemporary stories of gender are told.
