Diversity in media representation matters. Many say we’ve made great strides in the depiction of gender, LGBTQ+, ethnicity, and body type in today’s media, but stereotypes still abound, and the straight, white, thin, cisgender male still seems practically ubiquitous. What exactly does the future hold? This panel seeks to promote discussion of prevalent and controversial issues related to depiction of the “Other” in media, and explores how we as educators can better teach them. Moderator: Roger Allman, Grand Valley State University Panelists: Jennifer Rachel Billinson, Nazareth University; Victor D. Evans, Seattle University; Alexandra M. Vilela, James Madison University
