Later today: Killing Us Softly: Advertising’s Image of Women (4th edition)

April 3rd, 2018

in Pickering Educational Resources Library

The Pickering Library’s Education on Film series continues later today, Tuesday, April 3rd at 5pm. We will be showing the film Killing Us Softly: Advertising’s Image of Women (4th edition) from the library’s Kanopy database. The movie examines the challenges women continue to face through advertising: images that stereotype women in a number of ways and that promote unhealthy body images. What does this have to do with education?  Well, do kids who go to school watch TV?  #knowyourstudents.

Come learn and consider the evidence. Please feel free to bring a mug with a lid to enjoy a drink during the show, and space is limited so please RSVP.
