Women’s Film and Television History Network UK/Ireland
Exploring the contributions women have made to the emergence and development of film and television
About us
We are a group of researchers, teachers, archivists, collections managers, students, professionals, and enthusiasts engaged in exploring the contributions women have made to the emergence and development of film and television.
Our blog
We publish regular blogs on many aspects of women’s film and television history. Read the latest blogs here. Find out how you can contribute to our blogs here.
DWFTH conference
Every two years, WFTHN holds a conference, Doing Women’s Film and Television History (DWFTH). The aim is to encourage, support and disseminate research into women’s participation in screen media.
Join us
There are two ways to join us:
1) Members’ Listserv
This establishes the first level of membership, enabling the circulation between members of news and events.
Like access to our website—which circulates blogs and news about upcoming events/conferences, archives past events, and houses research resources—membership of the listserv is free. Join here.
2) Full membership
This is available for an annual subscription of £20.00 (£10.00 for students and unwaged) and provides access to our biennial conference, Doing Women’s Screen and Media Histories and to regular online events. The rationale for instituting membership fees and how to make payment is explained here.
You can also follow us on social media, including Bluesky, Instagram and Facebook. We regularly post about the latest news, research and events relating to women’s film, television and broadcasting history, including conferences, publications and screenings.
