Current student in WGST-199.
I am learning how to do different tasks on Wikipedia.

I love traveling, the outdoors, and puppies.

I am very interested in the SayHerName movement, and a strong supporter of BLM.

I am considering working on the following Wikipedia pages:

- Women of Color

- Media and Gender

- SayHerName

- White Feminism

- Women's Sports

- Women in Government

One resource that looks helpful in illustrating the mentioned stereotypes of women of color in television, on the Women Of Color article, is "Femme Noir: Dangerous Women of Color in Popular Film and Television ."

Annotated Bibliography for work on Women of Color
'''Berry G. L. (2000). Multicultural media portrayals and the changing demographic landscape: The psychosocial impact of television representations on the adolescent of color. Journal of Adolescent Health, 27(Suppl.), 57-60.'''

Dr. Gordon L. Berry has published various books and articles regarding media and its social and developmental effects, and has worked as a script advisor for various shows including "The Cosby Show." In this article, Berry claims that although the United States has made strides away from its racially segregated past, the ideas that were present back then continue to be evident today in various forms of media. Berry presents that this absence of multicultural media, including underrepresentation and misrepresentation, effects adolescents physiologically and psychosocially as they are developing and creating their worldview. This article could be useful to both researchers working to find more on the topic and exactly what to look for, and to professionals responsible for what is presented on television. This article will be useful to me as I discuss the effects that negative media portrayals of women of color has on women of color, including those who are still developing.

'''Dong, Qingwen & Murrillo, Marilyn A.. (2007). The impact of television viewing on young adults' stereotypes towards Hispanic Americans. Human Communication. 10. 33-44.'''

Qingwen Dong and Marilyn A. Murrillo, both professors at the University of the Pacific, conduct a study to determine how television portrayals of Hispanic Americans affect others' stereotypes towards them. First, they explore different concepts about stereotypes and about learning. Qingwen and Murrillo then test various hypotheses that they form, to then conclude that white Americans often learn about Hispanic Americans through television and media, which are typically negative portrayals. This article provides useful information to scholars looking for credible research on television and the development of stereotypes through it. I will be able to use this article to further explore and support the idea that television has a noteworthy impact on stereotypes, and how others form ideas and opinions based off of these stereotypes.

'''Shah, Hemant. "Asian Culture" and Asian American Identities in the Television and Film Industries of the United States." Simile, vol. 3, no. 3, Aug. 2003. EBSCOhost.'''

Hemant Shah, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and director of the Asian American Studies program there, has had his work published in various scholarly journals and in a few books as well. In this journal, Shah explores the portrayal of Asians and Asian Americans in films and television in the United States. He discusses the four main stereotypes that have been produced from these portrayals, and how they have caused white Americans to view Asians and Asian Americans in a particular way. He also looks at how that perspective compares to the perspective that Asians have of themselves, and how Asians are working to combat these stereotypes. Various film studies scholars and Asian studies majors could use this journal to provide in- depth information regarding Asians, who are often underrepresented, in the media. This article will give me credible information that I am able to use when discussing the portrayal of Asian women in television, and how that effects the views that people hold of that group.

'''Tukachinsky, Riva, et al. "The Effect of Prime Time Television Ethnic/Racial Stereotypes on Latino and Black Americans: A Longitudinal National Level Study." Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media, vol. 61, no. 3, Sept. 2017, pp. 538-556. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1080/08838151.2017.1344669.'''

Tukachinsky, Mastro, and Yarchi are able to bring together their communication expertise that each have, in order to conduct a study that looks at national level data regarding Latino and Black Americans in prime time television. Through this analysis they are able to look at effects on in-group attitudes and effects on the attitudes toward the majority group. This journal is very descriptive when describing the procedure of the study and the ideas that influenced the various aspects. People who are looking for statistics and credible studies while researching portrayals of Latino Americans and Black Americans in television would find this article very useful. I will use this journal to provide statistics and specifics regarding stereotypes in television and the effects they have on both the in-group and other groups.

'''Kretsedemas, Philip (January 2010). ""But She's Not Black!"". Journal of African American Studies. 14: 149–170 – via EBSCOhost.'''

Philip Kretsedemas, an associate professor within the Department of Sociology at the University of Massachusetts-Boston, explores the "Angry Black Women" stereotype on Prime Time Television. Kretsedemas first discusses the various stereotypes of various groups, with a specific focus on African American women, and the concepts that are vital to understanding the formation and effects of these stereotypes. He then walks readers through several group interviews in which he asks viewers about the show Ugly Betty, which might present a new form of the traditional stereotypes. This article offers valuable information regarding how black women have been traditionally stereotyped and how that is changing. The article's use of a thorough experiment also offers unique findings. I plan to use this article to provide me with the general facts about the representation of African American women in television, and the effects it has on specific others (in this case, the interviewees).

In this article, Merskin explores representational politics and common Latina stereotypes, followed by the conduction of a textual analysis. Within this textual analysis, Merskin discusses the various ways in which stereotypes are evident, both subtly and overtly, within the show Desperate Housewives. This article provides very in-depth and critical information to researchers who are looking for information regarding Latina stereotypes in media. The article also provides analyses of various text excerpts of a popular culture television show and thorough reflections. I will use this article to understand Latina stereotypes in media and the ways in which they can be portrayed.

Bing- Canar and Zerkel write an informative article that describes the common stereotypes of Arab women, and then they follow with findings they received after interviewing various Arab women regarding these stereotypes. This article would be useful for any person researching the various stereotypes of Arab women, and the complications and assumptions that result from these common depictions. The authors' use of interviews also provide valuable information. This article will be useful to me as I look at how Arab women are popularly portrayed in television and at the strong effects that these portrayals have.

This article would be useful to researchers looking for a wide range of specific statistics on the topic. This article will be useful to me as I use the basic information that is offered in this article, and also the statistics provided, which would add to the quality of my contribution.
