Encounters for Justice: A Comparative Study of How Journalists Mediate Stories of Domestic Abuse and Gender-Based Violence

On the occasion of a research meeting, an Italy-UK team invites you to join at the Elena Cornaro Centre for an informal conversation about their project, “Encounters for Justice: A Comparative Study of How Journalists Mediate Stories of Domestic Abuse and Gender-Based Violence”, funded by the British Academy, in a joint collaboration with the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei.

This event is an opportunity to bring together scholars, journalists, and the Elena Cornaro’s community, to gather and discuss the work of journalists – as well as researchers - who report stories of domestic and gender-based violence, in a comparative context. More specifically, the team expects to be discussing the following questions: What happens at the moment of encounter between journalist and survivor of domestic and gender-based violence? To what extent are journalists prepared for hearing, reading and speaking about crimes of violence against women? How do we as researchers relate to these experiences? And how can those moments of encounter be mobilized to challenge inequalities and gender injustices?
