Representation of Masculinity in Boys’ Television
June 23, 2020
Join the Institute in partnership with Promundo and the Kering Foundation for the launch of new research on how masculinity is portrayed in the most popular television shows among boys age 7-13, and how media-makers can have a positive impact by creating diverse and healthy representations of boys and men onscreen.
Since 2014, the Institute has been raising industry awareness on the imbalance of onscreen gender representation in children’s entertainment media – to get to the finish line, we must broaden and improve the representation of all characters.
This event is the first in a series of new research and resources from the Global Boyhood Initiative, a project of Promundo and the Kering Foundation.
This event is by invitation-only.
