Intersectionality in Media Representation of Gender

This exam examines the concept of intersectionality and its application to media studies, particularly in understanding how various identities intersect to influence representation in media. Students will evaluate the complexity of gender representations considering race, class, and sexuality.

Intersectional analysis is vital for scholars to comprehend the multifaceted realities of media representation. This approach aids in recognizing how marginalized voices are often overlooked and the implications this has for social justice and representation within the media landscape.

Exam participation will require articulating how intersectionality affects representations of gender in diverse media forms. Students must demonstrate the ability to critically assess media texts through an intersectional lens.

The discussion may extend to current events in media, highlighting the importance of diversity in representation and its impact on audience perception and social policy.
