Gender Representation in the Media at FutureLearn Course details
- From Beyonc performing in front of a lit up 'Feminist sign to the #MeToo movement, feminist issues have never seemed so popular in the media. However, research still consistently highlights the under-representation of women in the media, especially amongst marginalised groups.
- On this course, you'll be introduced to key gender issues. You'll explore female representation in areas from news to sports to feature films, and discover why equal representation still looks a long way off.
- You'll also consider what can be done to offer alternative depictions of women to the mainstream media.
