Ep. 39 – Representation Matters
This week’s Delve into Disney episode focuses on cultural representations in Disney and why they are so important. We’ll discuss the effects representation has on youth, adults and society as a whole. We will also take a moment to discuss the pitfalls of Disney’s early work when it comes to representation, as well as celebrate their current successes and highlight some of our hopes for the future.
