Jackie Prine, Emma West, Juliana Escalante, Natalie Mata, Nicole Jackie Prine, Emma West, Juliana Escalante, Natalie Mata, Nicole Escobar Barbie, or in full Barbara Millicent Roberts, is an 11-inch- (29-cm) tall plastic doll with the figure of an adult woman that I was introduced on March 9, 1959, by Mattel, Inc., a southern California toy company. & B ● Created by Ruth Handler who realized there was a gap in the market. ○ At the time, only infant-aged dolls for children to play with ○ A need for more mature aged dolls ● Inspired by the German doll, Bild Lilli ○ A doll initially created for adult consumers, but was mostly popular with children ● Handler created her own version and debuted it at the American International Toy Fair. ● First Barbie I ○ Wore a black and white zebra swimsuit with a topknot ponytail, available as either blonde or brunette ○ “Teenage Fashion Model” & B ● Subject of numerous controversies and lawsuits, often involving parodies of her lifestyle and inaccurate stereotypes ● Issues with ○ Body Image ○ Diversity ○ Bad Influence Concerns ○ Safety Concerns N S ● A 1966 babysitting Barbie brought a book to read while the baby slept; unfortunately, it was a diet book with one simple instruction: “Don’t Eat.” ● In 1992, it launched “Teen Talk Barbie” that said things like, “Math is tough,” and, “Let’s plan our dream wedding,” when you pushed a button. ● And in 2010, the company produced computer engineer Barbie that came with a storybook in which Barbie constantly crashes her computer and requires the help of her male friends, Brian and Steven, to help her accomplish the tasks. I & B ● The very first Barbies reinforced many of the stereotypes of women in the early ’60s. The doll was cast as a bride, a hostess, and as a guest at a red-carpet affair. ● Slowly Barbie started transitioning and changing with society. ● The company created an astronaut Barbie in 1965, four years before NASA’s moon mission and nearly two decades before the first American woman went into space. ● In 1969, they created Christie, a black doll designed to be Barbie’s friend. She was introduced as race riots began breaking out in the U.S. (South Asian, East Asian, and Latina dolls would come in the ’80s) ● They also created a Presidential Candidate Barbie almost every election year since 1992, a full 24 years before Hillary Clinton ran for president. "We want to remind the world what Barbie stands for. Founded by a female entrepreneur and mother in 1959, the Barbie brand has always represented the fact that women have choices. This ongoing initiative is designed to remind today's parents that through B the power of imagination, Barbie allows girls to explore their limitless potential." - Evelyn Mazzocco, global svp and general manager of Barbie. Oct. 2015 I P C W? The campaign ran in 2015 and was created by BBDO W? ● Came as a result of a study conducted at Oregon State University ○ Had 37 girls between ages 4-7 play with either a Barbie in a dress, a Barbie in a lab coat, or a Mrs. Potato Head doll ○ Showed the girls pictures of jobs & asked if girl or boy could do the job, girls with the Barbies thought that boys could do more jobs but girls with Mrs. Potato Head thought that girls could do more jobs ● Aimed to redirect the perception of Barbie from dolls that lowered the self-esteem of girls to one that focused on the creativity and self-expression T D G P C W? The campaign is currently running and was created by BBDO W? ● Children recognize cultural stereotypes ● Girls lose self-confidence in themselves and their dreams when they’re 5 ● Barbie wanted to draw awareness to the issue and create “ongoing global initiative that aims to give girls the resources and support they need to continue to believe that they can be anything.” ● The overall objective of the campaign was to make Barbie relevant in a world where girls are using technology from a young age. ● This push, along with product changes, hopes to empower young girls to career goals and combat stereotypes the brand has a history of reinforcing. ● Based on the notion that Millennial parents are more likely to A respond to brands that mean something. ● Barbie used the strategy of unscripted storytelling to build relationships with viewers and seem more authentic. ● Barbie wanted to improve their communication strategy by saying they are listening to moms and improving based on their input. Mattel outlined the five pillars they embrace in addressing the Dream Gap: 1. Raising awareness through impactful content 2. Showing girls more role models 3. Leveraging Barbie as a role model 4. Continuing to offer empowering products 5. Rallying partners around the world A A ● Imagine the Possibilities has 25 million views on Youtube and has been featured in many articles, including NYT and Forbes. ● Close The Dream Gap has 350 thousand views on Youtube. ● The #YouCanBeAnything and #CloseTheDreamGap went viral, with moms tweeting photos empowering their daughters. ● After the campaign in 2016, Barbie's sales were up 23% in the second quarter and 16% in the third. P R ● "The kids are adorable and the message was positive," even women who were Anti Barbie couldn’t argue with the message. ● Marks Barbie’s effort to move towards empowering girls to achieve their goals is a step forward from the previous marketing campaigns. ● When this is combined with the announcement that Mattel will feature Barbies of different figures and ethnicities, it shows that the company is attempting to combat and change the negative stereotype surrounding the famous doll. N R ● While the campaign received a large amount of praise, some critics did argue that the video reinforces gender roles by only showing girls-- boys play with dolls too. This highlights gender stereotypes. ● One critic said "It was like no adult took these girls seriously. If the girls were 'imagining' how they were perceived, how off-putting and sad.” ● Some people also still see the appearance of the dolls as an issue. “You Can Be Anything… as long as you’re beautiful.” Critics say those who do not resemble their image of Barbie dolls would not be able to escape from "Barbie" stereotype. ● The lack of technology Barbie has hurts their dying market. Children are more likely to play games on Ipads than with actual dolls. Steps in the right direction B, ● Could grow by representing different body types and shapes ● Potentially create dolls without makeup for those that believe Barbies are “too beautiful/perfect” C ● Create website or app based content that is accessed when a Barbie is purchased ● Break more gender stereotypes ● Continue to push image of Barbie as a role model or a figure of women empowerment rather than being just a doll 1- In your opinion, have the campaigns been effective in changing the impression of Barbie? 2- Do you think adding technological features would Q benefit the Barbie brand? 3- What do you think Barbie will do to continue to evolve with society? https://www.fastcompany.com/40503573/inside-barbies-fi ght-to-stay-relevant https://www.britannica.com/topic/Barbie https://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/ad-day-girls-be come-professionals-ahead-their-time-barbies-cool-new-a d-167487/ https://barbie.mattel.com/en-us/about.html https://en.calameo.com/read/005137613a49f1b1ab893 S http://www.versiondaily.com/barbie-you-can-be-anything- ad-campaign/ https://www.brandchannel.com/2018/10/11/mattel-barbie- closes-dream-gap/ https://www.brandchannel.com/2015/10/09/mattel-barbie- imagine-100915/ https://barbie.mattel.com/en-us/about/dream-gap.html .

Through close textual analysis of three case studies—Disney Fairies films, Barbie: Dreamhouse Adventures, and My Little Pony: Equestria Girls media—I found that such STEM promotion tends to emphasize traditional gender roles and neoliberal market values.

  • Fun with Barbie: Culture Jamming an American Icon Kathleen Knight Abowitz Miami University February 2000
    Fun with Barbie: Culture jamming an American icon Kathleen Knight Abowitz Miami University February 2000 Like most American girls of the last several generations, I have a Barbie story or two. I remember begging my mother to buy me Barbies. She wouldn’t, but not because she’s a feminist. My mother thought Barbies were expensive and a waste of money. As a grandmother, she therefore cringes when she realizes what a Barbie junkie my 5-year- old niece has become. She has no less than 13 Barbies and the required accoutrements: Barbie house, Barbie car, and full-size Barbie jeep that my brother was desperately putting together in his basement on Christmas eve two years ago. It was 2 in the morning and he was blearily peeling and attaching the pink and purple stickers that decorate the jeep. My niece spun around in the jeep all Christmas morning, but now, over a year later, it only serves as an expensive Barbie storage unit in the corner of her room. In this essay, I want to examine the cultural production known as Barbie. I will discuss how a group of citizens are resisting Barbie’s message through a practice known as "culture jamming." Groups such as the Barbie Liberation Organization are engaging in cultural critiques through their activism, resisting and re-coding the signs and meanings of Barbie. Barbie as a mediated cultural icon First, let me dispel the notion that Barbie is "just a doll" or just another piece of plastic formed and dressed by factory workers. As the example of my niece indicates, "Barbie" is not just a doll but a whole world of toys, games, and objects purchased for girls.

  • Arts-Integrated Science Engagement for Middle School Girls
    It got me back to science and now I want to be a plant scientist: Arts-integrated science engagement for middle school girls Sheron L. Mark, Ph.D., Geena M. Constantin, M.A.T., M.Ed., Terri L. Tinnell, M.A.T., & Olivia Alexander, M.Ed Corresponding Author: Sheron Mark, Ph.D. Department of Elementary, Middle, and Secondary Teacher Education, College of Education and Human Development, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY 40292. Email: [email protected] Phone: (502) 852 - 1362 Key Words arts integration; middle school females; science interest; science career development Abstract While middle school is a critical phase for science career development for all students (Maltese & Tai, 2009), this stage presents considerations for females in science, in particular. During middle school, the decline in science interest is greater for females than males and, for most students, the level of science interest developed during this middle school stage will persist throughout their lifetime, thereby influencing science career interests and attainment (Todd & Zvoch, 2017). This study aimed to stimulate and sustain middle school female students' interest in science study and careers by transforming opportunities for their participation in classroom science in ways that better appealed to and supported female science students. Research has shown that collaborative and active engagement with peers, hands-on and tangible modes of engagement, significant real-world connections, and choice have been effective in supporting middle school female students in science. Arts-integration has been explored as a cohesive framework that could potentially incorporate each of these characteristics into a science learning environment for five middle school female students.

  • Subtle and Not-So-Subtle Messages of Non-Inclusion
    2017 ASEE Zone II Conference Subtle and Not-So-Subtle Messages of Non-Inclusion Claire McCullough, Svetlana Chesser and Bart Weathington University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Abstract Numbers involved in the gender gap in computer science are substantial and growing. The gender gap has been slowly decreasing in most STEM fields, with several showing significant gains, leading some to believe that time will solve the problem. However, the percentage of degrees awarded to women in computer science peaked in 1986, and has been significantly decreasing ever since.1 Many studies have been performed, and many hypotheses formed to try to explain why this is so. One hypothesized reason is that subtle, and not-so-subtle, messages convey to women in computer professions that these are “men’s fields;” another, that cyberbullying affects women disproportionately. Both may cause women to leave computer professions. This paper gives examples of messages of non-inclusion, discusses preliminary results of an on-going study on cyberbullying, and invites discussion of what those both in, and outside, the computer professions can do to address the climate for women. Keywords Gender Gap, Diversity, Under-represented groups. Introduction While many studies have been performed, and many hypotheses have been formed to try to explain why fewer women pursue careers in computer fields, the magnitude of gender disparity has continued to increase. Not only are proportionately fewer women going into computer fields than into other STEM fields in the United States, according to the New York Times, 56% of the women who go into technology, 47% of the women who go into science, and 39% of the women who go into engineering wind up leaving these professions.2 The two possible reasons discussed in this paper, messages of non-inclusion and cyberbullying, have the potential to affect women both before selecting a profession and afterwards.

As one of the newest members of an elite group of emcees and rappers within the hip-hop genre, Nicki Minaj displays her talent for theatrics by personifying some of her favorite alter egos. While other female emcees (femcees) have appeared throughout pop culture such as Lil’ Kim and Lauryn Hill, Nicki Minaj arguably is the first to obtain this level of fame and notoriety. The release of her debut album Pink Friday in 2010 was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, making her the first artist to have seven singles on the Billboard Hot 100 at once (Iandoli). There is no doubt that Nicki Minaj’s alter egos, especially Harajuku Barbie, have helped establish her as a powerful femcee and have given her a lasting place in hip- hop history. Throughout Minaj’s time in the spotlight, her audience has seen her morph from one character to the next, all adorned with different outfits, different tonalities, and different postures.

  • Barbie Wants to Get to Know Your Child
    The New York Times Cover Photo A prototype of Mattel’s new talking Barbie, scheduled to be released in November. Credit Jamie Chung for The New York Times Barbie Wants to Get to Know Your Child With the help of A.I., America’s most famous doll tries to fulfill a timeless dream — convincing little girls that she’s a real friend. What will happen if they believe her? By JAMES VLAHOSSEPT. 16, 2015 It looked like a child’s playroom: toys in cubbies, a little desk for doing homework, a whimsical painting of a tree on the wall. A woman and a girl entered and sat down in plump papasan chairs, facing a low table that was partly covered by a pink tarp. The wall opposite them was mirrored from floor to ceiling, and behind it, unseen in a darkened room, a half-dozen employees of the toy company Mattel sat watching through one-way glass. The girl, who looked about 7, wore a turquoise sweatshirt and had her dark hair pulled back in a ponytail. The woman, a Mattel child- testing specialist named Lindsey Lawson, had sleek dark hair and the singsong voice of a kindergarten teacher. Microphones hidden in the room transmitted what Lawson said next. ‘‘You are going to have a chance to play with a brand-new toy,’’ she told the girl, who leaned forward with her hands on her knees. Removing the pink tarp, Lawson revealed Hello Barbie. ‘‘Yay, you’re here!’’ Barbie said eagerly. ‘‘This is so exciting. What’s your name?’’ ‘‘Ariana,’’ the girl said.
