#MeToo
Facilitators: Inês Amaral and Júlia Garraio
Team: Alexandre de Sousa Carvalho, Inês Amaral, Júlia Garraio, Rita Basílio Simões, Sofia José Santos, Teresa Almeida Cravo
This area will study the impact of #MeToo in Portugal, particularly focusing on how the Portuguese media followed the developments of the movement abroad; how media coverage of some controversial Portuguese (mostly) judicial cases was – or not – influenced by the movement; and how pervasive conceptions and ideals of masculinities in the Portuguese mediascape contributed to include, refrain or exclude the debates on masculinities, sexual violence and sexual harassment generated around #MeToo.
