Project Brainwash: Why Reality TV Is Bad for Women
(… and men, people of color, the economy, love, sex and sheer common sense!)

Do you ever wonder…
why reality TV frames humiliation of women as the “perfect fairy tale romance”?
f men should be valued for more than just the size of their … wallets?
why women of color are typecast as deceitful divas and “ghetto” sluts?

Then don’t miss this rousing multimedia presentation!

Oct. 10 at 7:00 pm in Watson Theater
Reception and book signing starting at 6 p.m.

JENNIFER L. POZNER is a media critic, author and founding director of Women In Media & News (WIMN), a media analysis, education and advocacy group. MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry says her book, “Reality Bites Back: The Troubling Truth About Guilty Pleasure TV,” is “required reading for every American girl and woman” and “The Colbert Report” writer Cecilia Lederer calls it “F*cking amazing!!! … insightful, funny, fun.” Jennifer’s journalism appears in Newsweek, Ms., Bitch, Chicago Tribune and Elle Canada, among many other outlets. She has served as an advisor and analyst for the
award-winning OWN documentary “Miss Representation,” and offered media commentary on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, HLN, MSNBC, Fox News, and “The Daily Show,” and wrote and starred in the satirical web series, “Reality Rehab with Dr. Jenn.”

Presented by the Women’s and Gender Studies Department. Cosponsored by The Writing Program, Cultural Foundation of Education and Communication and Rhetorical Studies
