Under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Amr Ezzat Salama, Secretary-General of the Association of Arab Universities, Swedish Iraqi Studies Network, and the Knowledge Enrichment Academy held in February 2021, the first international conference "The challenges facing the woman and the children in the modern society" led by Professor Sameer Algburi, Director of SISNET.
 

Madeleine Kassab´s talk was about the Media Framing of the Arab Entrepreneur Woman. 

Her study aims at analyzing the media frames adopted by a group of websites in discussing the issues of the Arab entrepreneur woman between 2019 and 2020. How does media present the term “entrepreneurship”? What are the characteristics of the entrepreneur woman according to the senders? What are the highlighted challenges and successes? Did media iconify particular persons or was the discourse general? Was the trend of the content positive or negative towards the woman?
