Irish female screenwriters wanted for thesis research
Nicola Depuis M.A. (UCC):
I am currently doing an M.A. in Women’s Studies at University College Cork in Ireland and I have chosen to research FEMALE SCREENWRITERS for my thesis.
I am interested in learning about female screenwriter’s working habits as well as the influences that have shaped their characters and storylines. I am interested in learning about how women screenwriters are treated within the industry and if there is room for new narrative structures in a patriarchal industry.
Female screenwriters have been completely overlooked by academic circles and I am hoping that my research will provide us with a genuine insight into the lives of female screenwriter’s today.
If you are interested in being interviewed or contributing to my research, please contact me at: nicoladep@hotmail.com
I would also like to invite all Irish female writers to join the following Facebook group (www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=522838553#!/group.php?gid=144406858911244&ref=mf) which is a closed private group dedicated to allowing Irish female screenwriters to communicate with each other on a regular basis.
