The Council for British Research in the Levant, CBRL Amman Institute is delighted to invite you to the book launch of “Women and the Media in Jordan: Gender, Power, Resistance” (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) where author Dr. Ebtihal Mahadeen will outline the key contributions of the work.
The book provides a feminist, critical study of how gender power relations are played out through and across multiple mediated arenas in the contemporary Middle East, with Jordan as its case study. It examines the dynamic relationship between women and the media as it manifests at three key levels: labour, representation, and activism.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A and reception.
