ED 249 Fairly Tales, Princesses, and Super Heroes: How Media Shape Children’s Gender and Sexuality
This course takes a cross-disciplinary look at how media shapes the views of gender and sexuality for children and youth, with a particular view to the implications for educators. The course focuses on the following: the representation of gender and in particular how media constructs what it means to be a boy, what it means to be a girl; how media helps and hinders our engagement with broader understandings of gender and sexual diversity; and finally, how these concepts impact children’s understanding of self and the society in which they live. Particular emphasis is placed on what future educators, as well as students from other majors, can do to raise awareness and education about these issues.
