100 college things 21: Disney: Gender, Race, Empire week one discussion: readings

( my initial reactions to the first week's assigned readings )

Tonight or tomorrow, I need to watch Mickey Mouse Monopoly and Snow White and Feminist Frequency's vlog on the Bechdel test and comment on them. At some point this week I need to decide on a research topic and sign up for a week to present it.

100 college things 22: Disney: Gender, Race, Empire week one discussion: Snow White

( liveblogged commentary )

I also watched Feminist Frequency's vlog on the Bechdel test. Very educational to someone who'd never heard of the test before, I'm sure (and it reassured me that I'm pronouncing 'Bechdel' right), but...that's it? Three minutes saying what the test is and a selection of famous movies that don't pass?

Mickey Mouse Monopoly is probably waiting for tomorrow.
