  • Black Masculinity and White-Cast Sitcoms Unraveling Stereotypes in New Girl
    Black masculinity and White-cast Sitcoms Unraveling stereotypes in New Girl Marie Zafimehy Supervisor: Alma Persson, Gender Studies, LiU Master’s Programme Gender Studies – Intersectionality and Change Master’s thesis 15 ECTS credits ISRN: LIU-TEMA G/GSIC1-A—19/015-SE Marie Zafimehy 2 Master thesis - Gender, Intersectionality and Change ABSTRACT For decades, situational comedies — commonly named “sitcoms” — have been racially segregated on TV between Black-cast sitcoms and White-cast sitcoms. Extensive research has been led about representation of Black and White masculinities in this segregated context. This master thesis studies what happens when White and Black males are equally casted as main characters in contemporary sitcoms by offering a case-study of the 2011 sitcom New Girl (2011-2017). How is Black masculinity represented in New Girl, and in which ways does it intersect with contemporary societal issues (e.g. racial profiling, Black Lives Matter movement)? This case-study uses tools, methodologies and concepts, drawn from Black and Intersectional feminism as well as Feminist media studies. Based on a 25 episodes sample of the show, it implements Ronald Jackson’s traditional stereotypes classification and “Black masculine identity theory” (Jackson, 2006) to study representations of Black masculinity in New Girl, through its two main Black male characters, Winston and Coach. Given that representations of minorities in popular culture reflect and influence our contemporary society, the results offer new insights about how sitcoms, series and pop- culture productions in general can challenge traditional stereotypes and display a more progressive Black masculinity. Key words: Black feminism, Feminist media studies, Men and masculinities, Representation, New Girl, Sitcoms Marie Zafimehy 3 Master thesis - Gender, Intersectionality and Change ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to Johanna Hägg and Sebastian Ingels who successively shared their Netflix access codes with me.

  • Invite a Friend Meeting Guide
    Invite a Friend Meeting Guide As girls are headed back to school and back to troop, Girl Scouts Spirit of Nebraska encourages girls to invite friends to join the fun and register for Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts is the preeminent organization just for girls that offers a variety of ways to participate. Regardless of a girl’s interests, Girl Scouts provides opportunities for her to make new friends, try new things, and grow her confidence using the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Girls choose what they want to learn and do, all while developing leadership skills that last a lifetime. Girl Scouting works. Research shows that Girl Scouts are more likely than their non-Girl Scout peers to: become leaders in their community and among their peers; try something new or something outdoors; have a higher level of financial literacy; achieve academic success; participate in STEM activities; and advocate against bullying. Girl Scouts is led by girls who learn by doing. Girls who are part of a girl-led environment are better at conflict resolution, problem solving, team building and cooperation, and developing self-confidence. WHY Girl Scouts offers the best leadership development experience for girls. The inclusive, all-female environment creates a safe space where girls can try new things and be themselves. How many girls do you or your Girl Scouts know who would flourish in Girl Scouts? WHEN Invite a Friend meetings and events can happen during Girl Scout Spirit Week, the week including October 31st, or anytime throughout the year! They can be a regular troop meeting, a troop meeting just for new Girl Scout friends, or even a special event or theme party! BE PREPARED In partnership with a co-leader, plan what you will do at the meeting or event.

The characters that were analyzed in two episodes were the young black women of Insecure and in two episodes the young white women in Girls. The method for this study was conducted using content analysis to identify the following variables focusing on identity, racial stereotypes and names used to address one another. Additionally, variables to identify gender included emotional approaches to situations, stereotypes and gender role expectations. The comprehensive findings revealed through similarities and differences of the episodes containing similar plot lines, as well as the overall analysis of each show, gave insight on how race and gender is being presented.
