About

Overview

Professor Rosalind Gill studied Sociology and Psychology at Exeter University, and completed her PhD in Social Psychology at the Discourse and Rhetoric Group (DARG), Loughborough University in 1991. With an interdisciplinary background, she has worked across a number of disciplines including Sociology, Gender Studies and Media and Communications. Her career has included posts at Goldsmiths and King's College London, and she worked for ten years in the LSE's interdisciplinary Gender Institute. She joined City, University of London in October 2013.

Research

Research interests

- Cultural and creative labour
- Gender and media
- Media and intimate life
- The dynamics of discrimination and inequality
- Discursive, visual and psychosocial methods.

Professor Gill is known for her research interests in gender and media, cultural and creative work, and mediated intimacy. For the last decade she has made a significant contribution to debates about the “sexualization of culture”. She enters this contested and polarized field bringing an emphasis upon difference – particularly the ways in which differently located groups (by age, class, gender, sexuality, vulnerability, etc) are positioned by and in relation to sexualization – and upon new ways of thinking about the relationship between culture and subjectivity – how what is “out there” gets “in here” to shape our sense of self. Professor Gill recently collaborated on a 4 year Marsden (Royal Society) project, led by Sue Jackson and Tiina Vares, exploring how pre-teen (9-12 year old) girls negotiate living in an increasingly sexualized culture. In 2011-12 Professor Gill was part of a team ( with Jessica Ringrose, Sonia Livingstone & Laura Harvey) commissioned by the NSPCC to research ‘sexting’, as part of a wider interest in young people’s use of mobile internet technologies.

Professor Gill is currently working with Meg Barker (Open University) and Laura Harvey (Brunel) on a book provisionally titled Mediated Intimacy: Sex Advice in Media Culture.

An interest in the dynamics of discrimination and inequality is also central to Professor Gill’s research. In the early 1990s she coined the term ‘new sexism’ to capture the ways in which discourses and practices of gender discrimination change and mutate under new conditions, and has developed this analysis with a sustained interest in postfeminism as a cultural sensibility.

For many years she has been interested in the conditions of labour for people working in the cultural and creative industries, and particularly in the disturbing new (class, gender, age and racial) inequalities developing in fields (paradoxically) known for being ‘cool, creative and egalitarian’. Professor Gill is currently co-editing a book for Sociological review, entitled Gender and Creative Labour (with Bridget Conor and Stephanie Taylor).

Professor Gill is also working on a four year AHRC award called Creativeworks London. With Andy Pratt (City), Mark Banks (Open University) and Wendy Malem (London College of Fashion) she is investigating innovation in London’s cultural and creative sector. For more information see www.creativeworkslondon.org.uk

Professor Gill is also part of the ‘core group’ of a multi-country EU COST Action entitled The Dynamics of Virtual Work, which is concerned with the transformations of work brought about by digital technologies dynamicsofvirtualwork.com

PhD supervision

Professor Gill has supervised numerous PhD students to successful completion, many of whom have gone on to have outstanding academic careers. Professor Gill is currently first supervisor for six students and second supervisor for three, and while she is not taking any more PhD students in 2013-2014, she will have vacancies for two students starting October 2014.
