This week we were divided into groups so that we could discuss our tentative research topics. The idea behind this was to interact with our peers about our tentative research topics and the resources. We discussed about the books and academic papers we could use in our report. The discussion helped us to navigate our ideas with more clarity. The group discussion broaden our horizon to explore our research topics from different perspective.
Research Topics
Some of the topics for the research report I have in my mind are:
- Objectification of Women in Children Cinema
- How Animated Films are breaking gender stereotypes?
- Breaking Stereotypes: Representation of Female lead in Pixar
- Pixar’s “Turning Red” helped break glass ceiling
- Breaking Stereotypes: Pixar’s breaks away from regular storytelling in the movie “Turning Red”
