Gender Analysis Discussion Post

For this assignment, choose a media text (advertisement, clip, website, news story, YouTube video, etc.) and write a post of at least 450 words analyzing it using the themes and keywords from this module–that is, you should address how the text is challenging, contesting, upholding, and/or reproducing ideologies pertaining to gender, race, and/or sexuality, etc. For example, you might examine a news story about women in sports (e.g., the recent Naomi Osaka story) or analyze a particular ad campaign featuring popular feminism. This is a purposefully open-ended assignment in terms of topics. I want you to carefully think about how a feminist media studies scholar might approach your chosen text. What research questions might they ask of the text? What would stand out? Using this approach, be sure to closely read the elements of your chosen text.
