This episode features Ingrid Bachmann, one of the Conference Theme Co-Chairs of the 2022 ICA Conference. Alongside a panel of other scholars, Ingrid explores the current influence of Western research in the field of feminist media studies — and how they as scholars can decentralize Western work. They consider how they can ensure their work, particularly as teachers and mentors of future scholars, has a positive social impact. They finish with a discussion of what it means to be an activist in the current digital age and how this definition intersects with their own work.
