Ten papers dealing with the ways in which demography factors relate to manpower were presented. The seminar's three objectives were to provide an opportunity for exchange of information, knowledge, and experience among personnel whose activities involve them in the interrelations between population and manpower problems; to examine the impact of population growth on manpower, labor force, and employment needs, with special reference to countries in the region; and to give expert consideration to techniques of assessing, analyzing, and interpreting data on the interrelations between population and manpower problems in the context of development planning. It was condluded that population and manpower policies whould be comprehensive and encompass specific aspects of the region. Allowances should be made for flexibility and possible inconsistencies; and programs should be the subject of continuing analysis, assessment, and evaluation.

Asian American Independent Media On the Rise 41 Conclusion 52 2 Introduction In today’s mainstream media, there exists a visible lack of Asian American representation. When they are given roles in film and television, those roles often maintain the stereotypical ideology which has been dominant for decades. Asian American stereotypes in these media range from hard-working and servile to masters of the martial arts and often put forth a misguided or exaggerated impression of what Asian Americans are like as a group. I argue that these stereotypical representations of Asian Americans manifest themselves in viewers’ minds and affect the way they view the minority group far after the they power off their television sets.

  • Negotiating Images of the Chinese: Representations of Contemporary Chinese and Chinese Americans on US Television
    Negotiating Images of the Chinese: Representations of Contemporary Chinese and Chinese Americans on US Television A Thesis Submitted to School of Geography, Politics, and Sociology For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Cheng Qian September, 2019 !i Negotiating Images of the Chinese: Representations of Contemporary Chinese and Chinese Americans on US Television ABSTRACT China's rise has led to increased interest in the representation of Chinese culture and identity, espe- cially in Western popular culture. While Chinese and Chinese American characters are increasingly found in television and films, the literature on their media representation, especially in television dramas is limited. Most studies tend to focus on audience reception with little concentration on a show's substantive content or style. This thesis helps to fill the gap by exploring how Chinese and Chinese American characters are portrayed and how these portrayals effect audiences' attitude from both an in-group and out-group perspective. The thesis focuses on four popular US based television dramas aired between 2010 to 2018. Drawing on stereotype and stereotyping theories, applying visual analysis and critical discourse analysis, this thesis explores the main stereotypes of the Chinese, dhow they are presented, and their impact. I focus on the themes of enemies, model minor- ity, female representations, and the accepted others. Based on the idea that the media can both con- struct and reflect the beliefs and ideologies of a society I ask how representational practice and dis- cursive formations signify difference and 'otherness' in relation to Chinese and Chinese Americans. I argue that while there has been progress in the representation of Chinese and Chinese Americans, they are still underrepresented on the screen.

Christo Burman Abstrakt Arbetet består av en närläsning av karaktären Kurt Hummel i tv-serien Glee med fokus på stereotyper för homosexuella män, och hur Kurt förhåller sig till dem stereotyperna. Studien är gjord utifrån ett queerteoretiskt perspektiv och visar att Kurt i viss mån framställs stereotypt i seriens tidigaste avsnitt, men att han efter hand uppvisar ett djup och komplexitet som man inte ofta ser hos homosexuella karaktärer på tv.

    UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA OFFICE OF INSTITUTIONAL EQUITY IN THE MATTER OF: OIE CASE NO. 2019-01225 INVESTIGATIVE REPORT January 13, 2021 SUBMITTED BY: Nancy Fitzpatrick Myers, J.D. Director, Office of Institutional Equity 1 I. INTRODUCTION From June 4, 2020 through August 2020, the Office of Institutional Equity (OIE) received reports from multiple sources (including phone calls, emails, IntegrityLine reports,1 Just Knights Response Team (JKRT) reports,2 and Office of Student Conduct reports) wherein individuals alleged that the Respondent, an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology, had subjected students to discriminatory harassment in the classroom based on race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and religion; subjected students to sexual harassment; subjected students to quid pro quo harassment based on religion; engaged in unprofessional conduct; and, failed to appropriately report and respond to a student’s disclosure of a sexual assault to the University. Some reports indicated support for the Respondent and denied misconduct in the classroom, while others shared their reactions to the Respondent’s social media activity and did not identify specific classroom or workplace misconduct. Specifically, OIE initially reviewed approximately 400 hundred emails, over 100 IntegrityLine reports, 10 Just Knights Response Team reports, and two Office of Student Conduct reports related to the Respondent. Based upon the information provided, OIE initiated an inquiry and contacted multiple witnesses in this matter. OIE is a neutral investigatory office responsible for investigating claims of discrimination and harassment based on protected classifications, as well as retaliation. When investigations reveal the presence of discriminatory, harassing or retaliatory behavior, OIE is responsible for making recommendations to mitigate the effects of the discriminatory conduct.
