Misrepresentation: Women, Girls, Power and the Media

Update: 2012-02-01

Description

The influence of media on society has long been debated, especially with regard to the correlation between violence exposed in various communication and entertainment mediums and aggression among teenagers. However, what of the correlation between the representation of women in the media and roles of power for women in Western society? Media@McGill and the Institute for Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies invite you to join us for a panel discussion on the theme of media representation of women which will be based on issues raised in the 2011 documentary, Miss Representation, by Jennifer Siebel Newsom.
