1 小时 28 分钟Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Hello.
Hello, good evening.
Welcome to this evening's event, everyone.
My name is Dr Rachel O'Neill.
I'm an assistant professor here in the Department of Media and Communications at LSE.
And I'm delighted to be chairing this evening's event.
which forms part of our department's public lecture program and is,
in fact, the last of the series this year.
Thank you to everyone for coming along tonight, both in person and online,
and also to all those who've been attending sessions throughout the series.
We're incredibly fortunate to be joined this evening by two eminent feminist scholars.
Professor Sarah Ben A. Weiser joins us from the University of Pennsylvania.
where she is Walter H. Anenberg Dean and Lauren Berland, Professor of Communication.
Professor Benny Weiser is also the former head of department here at Median Communications and is always very warmly welcomed back whenever she returns,
which thankfully is most summers.
Professor Benny Weiser's work as a feminist media studies scholar spans a wide range of subject matter,
from beauty pageants, personal favorite of mine,
to Nickelodeon television, brand culture, to commodity activism.
