Thesis
An investigation into the representation of gendered parental roles in pre-school children's television.
My PhD research aims to investigate how gendered roles are understood by pre-school children from the ages of 2-4 through their parents' gendered performance in the home in comparison to the parents, families and children represented on children’s television. This research will analyse the representation of gendered roles through a multi-method approach involving both textual analysis and ethnography.
