  • PORTRAYALS OF LATINA WOMEN IN MEDIA AND THEIR IMPACT ON LATINA YOUTH

    Description:
    From adolescence to adulthood, people consume television. The average American consumes 218 hours of television per month, making it instrumental in the formation and perpetuation of social constructs. In this study, we looked at how Latina women are impacted by the way they are portrayed in television. By conducting an online survey, we collected data from anonymous sources pertaining to their consumption habits and opinions on how they feel Latinas are portrayed. Using SPSS software, we ran descriptives and t-tests to determine percentages portrayed of these demographics. Because television is consumed widely by Latinas, how they are portrayed can have profound effects on their self-image and aspirations.

  • Nowhere to Go, No One to Help: Covid's Collateral Consequences

    Description:
    The objective for this research is to build a future policy that will improve help given to domestic violence victims. It is to look at the different problems both before and during the pandemic and figure out what changes can be made to better protect and aid the victims. By interviewing non-profit organizations and an EMT, we get a better idea of the challenges that advocates face before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The results show an increase in cases and demand for services when the pandemic started, with many organizations put on hold or transitioning to online services.
