You will find several journal articles, each dealing with the ways in which cultural institutions (magazines, TV programs, children’s books) reflect socially persistent stereotypes, or otherwise perpetuate unflattering images of subordinate groups. Select TWO of these articles and develop a brief discussion of what these studies reveal. Be sure to address the following questions in a well-organized essay: What is the question that drives each study? What methods has the study used? What findings does it report? What implications does the author draw out of the findings? And to what extent or in what ways is the articles analysis compelling? Ideally, your essay will compare and contrast the two studies, indicating which seems most worthwhile, and why.
