The Extraordinary General Meeting of the Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) Alumni Association was held on 4 March 2025. The meeting aimed to review the events of the past year, discuss key developments in the lives of RSU graduates, and elect a new board.
The General Meeting began with a report on the association’s achievements over the past eight years, presented by Dins Šmits, President of the Alumni Association Board, and Paula Jumīte, Executive Director.
The presentation "Contemporary Discourses of Motherhood and Mediatisation – Opportunities and Perspectives for Communication Research" will briefly outline contemporary discourses on motherhood, mothering, and maternal identity, as well as their interrelations in mass media and social networking sites, in the narratives of new mothers and within public discourse in Latvia. It will also provide insights into the forms of motherhood mediatisation and how social networking sites, particularly Twitter (X) and Facebook, enhance the experience of motherhood.
