This seminar series engages with feminist theory in media and communication studies to rediscover older and forgotten ways of knowing and thinking about these issues, and to imagine alternative ways of communicating in an era marked by global crises and armed conflicts. It is organized by the Department of Communication (IKO), Lund University, in cooperation with researchers from Goldsmiths, University of London.

Kathryn Higgins is a Lecturer at the Department of Media, Communication and Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths, University of London. She is a critical interdisciplinary scholar of communication, culture, and the politics of vulnerability. Her work explores how media culture negotiates justification for different practices of violence, exclusion, and domination - particularly those enacted in the name of 'safety' or 'justice'. Her research is concerned with the contingencies of modern vulnerability politics within the representational terrain of media.
