How Media Representations of Minorities Empower Collective Action Efforts: A UCSB Reads Panel Discussion

Media representations of minorities, and how they’re shared in our society in the news, media, and social media can adversely affect how minorities see themselves and how others perceive them.
Despite these challenges, continued and unjust disadvantages are known to empower collective action efforts within minority groups and solidarity efforts within advantaged groups to correct the image and position of disadvantaged groups in society.
Join faculty Muniba Saleem and Dan Lane from UCSB’s Department of Communication, and librarian Mary-Michelle Moore for a panel discussion addressing the impact of media misinformation and the importance of media literacy.
