Feminist Approaches to Media Theory and Research tackles the
breadth and depth of feminist perspectives in the field of media
studies through essays and research that reflect on the present and
future of feminist research and theory at the intersections of
women, gender, media, activism, and academia. The volume includes
original chapters on diverse topics illustrating where theorization
and research currently stand with regard to the politics of gender
and media, what work is being done in feminist theory, and how
feminist scholarship can contribute to our understanding of gender
as a mediated experience with implications for our contemporary
global society. It opens for discussion how the research, theory,
and interventions challenge concepts of gender in mediated
discourses and practices and how these fit into the evolving state
of contemporary feminisms. Contributors engage with discussions
about contemporary feminisms as they are understood in media theory
and research, particularly in a field that has changed rapidly in
the last decades with digital communication tools and through
cross-disciplinary work. Overall, the book illustrates how the
politics of gender operate within the current media landscapes and
how feminist theorizing shapes academic inquiry of these
landscapes.

How Public Policy Impacts Racial Inequality, edited by Josh Grimm
and Jaime Loke, brings together scholars of political science,
sociology, and mass communication to provide an in-depth analysis
of race in the United States through the lens of public policy.
This vital collection outlines how issues such as profiling, wealth
inequality, and housing segregation relate to race and policy
decisions at both the local and national levels. Each chapter
explores the inherent conflict between policy enactment,
perception, and enforcement. Contributors examine topics ranging
from the American justice system's role in magnifying racial and
ethnic disparities to the controversial immigration policies
enacted by the Trump administration, along with pointed discussions
of how the racial bias of public policy decisions historically
impacts emerging concerns such as media access, health equity, and
asset poverty. By presenting nuanced case studies of key topics,
How Public Policy Impacts Racial Inequality offers a timely and
wide-ranging collection on major social and political issues
unfolding in twenty-first-century America.
