  • Representations of Diversity in the Children's Educational Television
    Who are the People in your Neighborhood? Representations of Diversity in the Children’s Educational Television Show Sesame Street Veronica Hauad EDUP&L 834 – MON/WED 1:30pm The goal of this lesson is to help students assess the representation of racial and ethnic diversity (or total lack thereof) in media. This specific lesson will address the representation of diversity in the children’s educational television show Sesame Street. Overview More than ever, very young children are watching television. They are watching on the weekends, after school, and sometimes even in the classroom as a means of learning. If television is going to play such an important part in the lives of children, it is imperative that parents and educators highlight the television shows that will be the most beneficial for their children to watch. Ideally television shows geared toward young children would be as educational as possible, both in the traditional school sense as well as culturally educational. Since the show’s inception, the creators of Sesame Street have strived to provide both kinds of education. Sesame Street first aired in 1969. The creators of the show developed Sesame Street with the goal of improving school readiness in urban socioeconomically disadvantaged children. Segments highlighted the introduction of letters of the alphabet, numbers, and shapes and colors. But the show was also designed to promote positive images of diversity. The show’s creators hoped that positive media representations of racial and ethnic minorities would not only boost cultural pride and self-confidence, but they would also enhance awareness and understanding.

  • Lloyd N. Morrisett Session #1 {Video}
    VJD Interviewee: Lloyd N. Morrisett Session #1 {video} Interviewer: Sharon Zane New York, New York Date: April 13, 1999 Q: Just to do a little background and biographical stuff leading up to when you got to Carnegie [Carnegie Corporation of New York], first maybe you could tell me where and when you were born and something about your family background, if you would. Morrisett: I was born in 1929 in Oklahoma City where my father was at that time a high school principal. We moved in 1933 to New York where he got his PhD at Columbia Teachers College. And after that he was an assistant superintendent of schools in Cranfield, NJ, then an assistant superintendent of schools in Yonkers, NY from the period of about 1936 to 1940. He went out to UCLA to teach in summer session and was invited to come out as a professor of education. We moved to Los Angeles then in 1941 where I grew up through junior high school and high school. Subsequently I went to Oberlin College where I graduated in 1951. Then back to UCLA because I’d majored in philosophy in college and I’d decided that I wanted to become a psychologist and had to make up a psychology major. So I spent two years at UCLA doing that and then off to Yale from 1953 to 1956 where I got my PhD in Psychology. Q: Psychology at that time was how evolved as a science, would you say? Morrisett--1--1b Morrisett: To answer that question slightly more generally, the Second World War had an enormous influence on the social sciences in the United States, because, as part of the war effort, a large number of the very best social scientists were drawn together in the OSS [Office of Strategic Services] and other federal departments in Washington.
