Our Project
The 4W Gender and Migration in Media project hosts screenings, book discussions and invited talks centered around gendered representations and nuances around migration in media. The effort explores migration both within and across boundaries of all kinds – national, cultural, geographic and more – and studies the different ways stories of migrants and refugees are narrated and represented. The project is informed by the Wisconsin Idea, which urges us to take scholarship from the classroom to society – a migration in itself – so that our students and scholars can explore the role of media in shaping social realities, and be ready to produce and consume media ethically and in alignment with their values.
