Abstract
The final panel discussion of the series on “Women of Faith in the Media” will take place at 6pm on 9th December and will feature panellists in conversation around the experiences of women from faith backgrounds and none working within the media, extending discussions from previous panels to explore the narratives around women of faith that exist within the media and in the public realm more broadly. Indeed, the social climate of the UK is heavily affected by the predominant media stories that surround certain groups, including women from faith backgrounds. This panel discussion, therefore, aims to explore how women of faith are portrayed in the media and how far this impacts women of faith’s role in their local communities and their workplaces. We will explore the underlying narratives that impact how women of faith are seen within society and how this impacts ongoing dialogue between women of faith and those around them.
