Representation in Film, TV & Media

Media holds significant power in influencing sociocultural behaviors and beliefs. Madeline Di Nonno, President and CEO of Geena Davis Institute, is our guest to discuss the work of the institute in studying representation of gender, race, LGBTQIA+, disability, body size, and age in media. We also discuss the Institute’s partnership with Moms First on a study of portrayals of mothers and motherhood, plus the effect the pandemic and two industry strikes had on screen representation.
