- Description
- We live in a world characterized by inequality and injustice. European societies remain profoundly stratified along lines of gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, disability, sexuality, and location. It is perhaps not surprising, then, that these inequalities are also evident in the cultural and media industries. Across film, broadcasting, advertising, and new media, women, minority ethnic groups, and people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are dramatically underrepresented, compared with men, white people, and the middle and upper classes. Older people and people with disabilities are often scarcely visible at all in key creative roles.
