“…The aforementioned disparities may be especially concerning when considering programming for youth. A recent content analysis of characters on popular preschool television programs found that only 15% of lead characters were from an underrepresented ethnic/racial group (Hamlen & Imbesi, 2020). Similar findings abound for media popular with youth.…”

The goal of this study was to apply insights from social identity gratifications and ethnic/racial identity development frameworks to better understand how adolescents perceive, select, and avoid media content which has the potential to damage self-and group-concept. We conducted focus groups with 32 Latino adolescents aged 13 to 15. We found mixed evidence that youth prioritized the ethnicity of characters in program selection. Most referenced personality or age as the primary identity-based factors of interest. Although students widely recognized negative stereotypes of Latinos in mainstream English-language media, this did not overwhelmingly dictate media choices, seemingly due to lack of alternative choices. In contrast, Spanish language programming offered a positive alternative to English-language media and may serve identity needs. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The planet is facing a triple crisis from climate change, biodiversity loss, and a pollution crisis. The UK, like any country needs to attract and train the best available talent to become thought leaders to overcome these global challenges. A number of STEM subjects in the UK face challenges with attracting ethnic minority students, but there is a particular gap in our understanding across environmental and marine science subjects. As part of a wider project on diversity in UK environmental and marine science, we have conducted an analysis of approximately 18,000 applications amongst 180 environmental and 88 marine science degrees in the UK between 2019–2021 and have found them to be the least diverse degree subjects for ethnic minority students. Asian students were less likely to be accepted compared to white students on environmental science degrees, with no differences observed for marine science degrees. A survey of 46 UK marine science course/module leaders highlights that they are aware of the problem and believe that this issue is impacting the pipeline of diversity from higher education (HE) institutions to marine/environmental science careers. In this paper, we discuss the impacts of these findings and develop a roadmap to change.

“…Por último, cabe preguntarse: ¿ha cambiado la representación mediática de la diversidad étnica? Como primera respuesta encontramos, gracias a la revisión preliminar, que la serie infantil estudiada muestra una mejora en la parte cuantitativa, presentando un mayor número de personajes de color, en comparación a la programación infantil de las décadas pasadas (Delamorclaz Ruiz, 2016;Sánchez-Labella Martín, 2018;Ortega-Mohedano et al, 2018;Hamlen & Imbesi, 2019;Lemish, 2020). Por lo tanto, esta producción infantil presenta una diversidad cultural que corresponde con las sociedades actuales.…”

asociado a un proyecto doctoral sobre la diversidad cultural en la televisión infantil. Área o categoría del conocimiento: Educación mediática Resumen: Los medios de comunicación se han convertido en prescriptores sociales. Por ello es cada vez más importante examinar cómo estos dibujan y describen el contexto social, así como representan al otro. Problema de estudio: ¿cómo se construye la representación de la diversidad étnica en una serie infantil de televisión? Se hace uso del Análisis Crítico del Discurso como herramienta que permite examinar críticamente la imagen de la diversidad en el relato infantil. A la luz de la revisión se observa una mejora en la parte cuantitativa, presentando un mayor número de personajes de color. Se estima que la educación mediática es la estrategia idónea para desarrollar la capacidad de análisis crítico de los contenidos audiovisuales.
