Media, Religion and Gender (Media, Religion and Culture)

Media, Religion and Gender presents a selection of eminent current scholarship that explores the role gender plays when religion, media use and values in contemporary society interact. The book:

• surveys the development of research on media, religion and culture through the lens of key theoretical and methodological issues and debates within gender studies.
• includes case studies drawn from a variety of countries and contexts to illustrate the range of issues, theoretical perspectives and empirical material involved in current work
• outlines new areas and reflects on challenges for the future.

Students of media, religion and gender at advanced level will find this a valuable resource, as will scholars and researchers working in this important and growing field.
