Gender and Sexuality Studies

Media and Feminist Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the relationship between media, gender, and feminist theory. It focuses on how media shapes societal perceptions of gender roles, sexuality, and power dynamics while also analyzing how these representations influence and reflect broader social inequalities. This field investigates topics such as:

Media Representations: Exploring portrayals of women, men, and non-binary identities in film, television, advertisements, and digital platforms.
Feminist Theory: Applying concepts like the male gaze, objectification, and intersectionality to critique media narratives.
Digital Feminism: Studying online activism, such as movements like #MeToo, and addressing challenges like cyber harassment.
Media Production: Examining gender disparities in media industries and advocating for equitable and diverse storytelling.
Cultural and Global Perspectives: Understanding how different cultures intersect with media and feminist narratives on a global scale.
