Digital Inquiry

Research question: To what extent does social media reinforce gender stereotypes already attributed to various professions and/or interests?

Our field of research will be twofold: first, we will be conducting online research that focuses on international data, and second, we will be zooming in on our own Sciences Po community to analyze the content and feeds we curate online.

Our methodology will combine research - netnography - regarding global trends as well as our own investigation into trends within our peer communities. We plan on researching the demographics of accounts that our classmates follow and interact with to hopefully generate our own data in response to our research question, in addition to looking at worldwide media statistics.
