Investigating Representations of Race, Gender, and Queer Identity in News

Channing Joseph

Comments

This seminar critically examines how race, gender, and LGBTQ+ identities are represented in North American and European news media. Drawing on foundational works by scholars like Kimberlé Crenshaw, Frank B. Wilderson, Michel Foucault, and bell hooks, we will explore the historical and social contexts that shape media portrayals of marginalized groups. Case studies will include the role of U.S. newspapers in promoting racial violence, European media narratives surrounding migrant communities, and recent controversies in LGBTQ+ representation. Using frameworks from sociology, gender studies, and media studies, students will conduct content analyses and original research on a topic of their choice, critically evaluating media bias and its societal impact.
