Listen "Origins of Media Tropes"
Episode Synopsis
This episode will take a deep dive into a few different popular media tropes/stereotypes, where they come from, and the harm that they do. Media tropes don't just come out of nowhere, so we want to explore some of them and their origins, give examples, and discuss them further than they are often discussed. Our team speaks to Dr. Antonia Randolph and Professor Rick Warner about the use of tropes in media and when these tropes can become harmful stereotypes. We also discuss ways to combat a reliance on negative stereotypes, including ways to ensure positive representation and the increase in diversity both behind and in front of the camera.
