Latina/o/x Communication Studies: Theories, Methods, and Practice
spotlights contemporary Latina/o/x Communication Studies research
in various theoretical, methodological, and academic contexts.
Leandra H. Hernández, Diana I. Bowen, Sara De Los Santos Upton,
and Amanda R. Martinez have assembled a collection of case studies
that focus on health, media, rhetoric, identity, organizations, the
environment, and academia. Contributors expand upon previous
Latina/o/x Communication Studies scholarship by examining identity
and academic experiences in our current political climate; the role
of language, identity, and Latinidades in health and media
contexts; and the role of social activism in rhetorical,
environmental, organizational, and border studies contexts.
Scholars of communication, Latin American Studies, rhetoric, and
sociology will find this book particularly useful.
Women and advertising are both globally ubiquitous. Yet advertising
remains one of the most unabashedly misogynist, heterosexist, and
racist industries. This edited volume of original unpublished
chapters is the first ever to offer explicitly feminist views on
advertising. Feminists, Feminisms, and Advertising provides
feminist analyses of the historical relationships between the
advertising industry and the women’s movement in the United
States. Contributors consider the ways that advertisers encode
race, ethnicity, gender, and heteronormativity into advertising
practices and messages exported around the world. They further
explore the ways that intersectional audiences such as women of
color, Latinas, and lesbian and gay audiences decode, reinterpret,
resist, and subvert advertising. With this book, the editors and
contributors address the present lack of feminist scholarship,
research, knowledge, or curriculum in advertising, and begin a more
honest dialogue about diversity and intersectional gender in the
advertising academy as well as the advertising industry.
Women Educators’ Experiences During COVID-19: On the Front Lines
examines the gendered experiences, challenges, and rapid changes
faced by women in higher education during COVID-19. The book’s
chapters cover lived experiences ranging from graduate students
navigating the pandemic to those grappling with balancing
motherhood and the academy. Through these diverse perspectives,
this edited collection explores the impact of the diversity and
nuances of the feminine identity on navigating higher education
during an international health crisis. Ultimately, contributors
provide recommendations for best practices and suggestions for
change for administrators, faculty, and policymakers to dismantle
the academy as a male-dominated institution. Scholars of
communication, gender studies, and higher education will find this
book of particular interest.
Gender, Race, and Social Identity in American Politics: The Past
and Future of Political Access explores the ways in which cultural
expression is represented in American politics as it intersects
with issues of gender, race, and the construction of social
identity. Specifically, this body of work examines how
representations in the media and larger culture can establish and
diminish the status of diverse communities of American politicians.
Contributors analyze the rhetorical and performative changes that
have occurred in America as it has shifted politically from growing
acceptance and tolerance to an obscure—and often
hostile—conservative ideology. This book contributes to the
growing dialogue surrounding American politics by citing specific
cases of gender and race-based infringements of the current
political system, as purported by media and party players. This
book will be especially useful to scholars of political science,
media studies, gender studies, and critical race studies.
