From podiums on international stages to mainstream media coverage,
from crowds of youth marching in streets, to social media feeds,
everywhere we look we can see girls rising in the climate justice
movement. Carolyn M. Cunningham and Heather M. Crandall examine
these climate activists from the intersection of gender studies,
new media studies, and environmental activism. They include cases
about iconic climate girls such as Greta Thunberg, Mari Copeny, and
Autumn Peltier (Wiikwemkoong First Nation) and lesser-known climate
girl activists who design technologies, global non-profit
organizations, and lawsuits against governments. Crandall and
Cunningham reveal that climate girl activists are consciously
intersectional and aware of how systems of oppression, including
racism, heterosexism, and capitalism, impact the climate crisis.
Scholars of women's and gender studies, environmental studies, and
communications studies will find this book of particular interest.
Gender, Communication, and the Leadership Gap is the sixth volume
in the Women and Leadership: Research, Theory, and Practice series.
This cross-disciplinary series, from the International Leadership
Association, enhances leadership knowledge and improves leadership
development of women around the world. The purpose of this volume
is to highlight connections between the fields of communication and
leadership to help address the problem of underrepresentation of
women in leadership. Readers will profit from the accessible
writing style as they encounter cutting-edge scholarship on gender
and leadership. Chapters of note cover microaggressions, authentic
leadership, courageous leadership, inclusive leadership, implicit
bias, career barriers and levers, impression management, and the
visual rhetoric of famous women leaders. Because women in
leadership positions occupy a contested landscape, one goal of this
collection is to clarify the contradictory communication dynamics
that occur in everyday interactions, in national and international
contexts, and when leadership is digital. Another goal is to
illuminate the complexities of leadership identity,
intersectionality, and perceptions that become obstacles on the
path to leadership. The renowned thinkers and scholars in this
volume hail from both Leadership and Communication disciplines. The
book begins with Sally Helgesen and Brenda J. Allen. Helgesen,
co-author of The Female Vision: Women's Real Power at Work,
discusses the two-fold challenge women face as they struggle to
articulate their visions. Her chapter offers six practices women
can use to relieve this struggle. Allen, author of the
groundbreaking book, Difference Matters: Communicating Social
Identity, discusses the implications of how inclusive leadership
matters to women and what it means to think about women as people
who embody both dominant and non-dominant social identity
categories. She then offers practical communication strategies and
an intersectional ethic to the six signature traits of highly
inclusive leaders. Each chapter includes practical solutions from a
communication and leadership perspective that all readers can
employ to advance the work of equality. Some solutions will be of
use in organizational contexts, such as leadership development and
training initiatives, or tools to change organizational culture.
Some solutions will be of use to individuals, such as how to
identify and respond productively to micro-aggressions or how to be
cautious rather than optimistic about practicing authentic
leadership. The writing in this volume also reflects a range of
styles, from in-depth scholarship that produces new knowledge to
shorter forums that feature interesting ideas worth considering.

Games Girls Play examines the role that video games play in girls'
lives, including how games structure girls' leisure time, how
playing video games constitutes different performances of
femininity, and what influences girls to play or not play video
games. Through interviews, focus groups, and qualitative content
analyses, this book analyzes girls' involvement with video games.
It also examines different contexts in which discourses of girls
and video games occur, including girl-oriented video games,
activist efforts to change the video game industry, and informal
education programs that teach girls video game design.
Social Networking and Impression Management: Self-Presentation in
the Digital Age, edited by Carolyn Cunningham, offers critical
inquiry into how identity is constructed, deconstructed, performed,
and perceived on social networking sites (SNSs), such as Facebook,
and LinkedIn. The presentation of identity is key to success or
failure in the Information Age, especially because SNSs are
becoming the dominant form of communication among Internet users.
The architecture of SNSs provide opportunities to ask questions
such as who am I; what matters to me; and, how do I want others to
perceive me? Original research studies in this collection utilize
both quantitative and qualitative methods to study a range of
issues related to identity management on SNSs including
authenticity, professional uses of SNSs, LGBTQ identities, and
psychological and cultural impacts. Together, the contributors to
this volume draw on current research in the field and offer new
theoretical frameworks and research methods to further the
conversation on impression management and SNSs, making this text
essential for both students and scholars of social media.
