Children’s views on race, ethnicity and identity are shaped by what they see in media, including television, movies, and social media. Social media influencers are seen as role models by children as young as primary school. How is diversity and an appreciation for ‘difference’ communicated in each of these media? How does representation influence what children understand about the ‘other” and about cross- cultural 
understanding? What type of representation do children see in the most popular children’s programs, especially those that are seen across the globe.
This session was moderated by Sherri Hope Culver, director of the Center for Media and Information Literacy (CMIL) at Temple University.
