SUMMARY:Jennifer Pozner Comes to OSU
DESCRIPTION:DO YOU EVER WONDER…: why “reality” TV frames humiliation 
 of women as “ideal fairy tale romance”? if Prince Charming would really
  make his “true love” bend over so he could kick her in the butt? if\nm
 en should be valued for more than just the size of their…wallets? Then do
 n’t miss this rousing\, multi-media presentation! With humor\, razor-shar
 p analysis and provocative clips from shows like The\nBachelor\, America’
 s Next Top Model\, American Idol\, Extreme Makeover and Flavor of Love\, me
 dia critic Jennifer L. Pozner exposes how “reality” TV reinforces regre
 ssive stereotypes about women and men\,\nrace and class\, and sex\, love an
 d marriage in America. She skewers the lack of ethnic and physical diversit
 y in a genre where women are sold right alongside soda and cell phones\, an
 d reveals how\nreality TV glorifies eating disorders\, derides female intel
 ligence\, demeans people of color\, and reduces Prince Charming to any jerk
  with a firm butt and a firmer financial portfolio. Students will\nnever se
 e dating\, mating and makeover shows the same way again… and they will la
 ugh—a lot! Jennifer Pozner founded Women in Media and News in 2001 to inc
 rease women’s presence and power in the public\ndebate through media anal
 ysis\, education\, advocacy and reform. She formerly directed the Women’s
  Desk at the national media watch group FAIR\, where she was a staff writer
  for Extra! Magazine and the\norganizer of the national Feminist Coalition 
 on Public Broadcasting. Pozner’s freelance work on women\, media\, politi
 cs and pop culture has been published in Newday\, Chicago Tribune\, Arizona
  Republic\,\nMs.\, Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture\, among other pu
 blications. Pozner has appeared on ABC News Now’s “Top Priority\,” Co
 medy Central’s “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart\,” and several other\
 ntelevision programs. And because laughter is both a powerful weapon and an
  activist’s best medicine\, Pozner served for several years as volunteer 
 coordinator of the NYC chapters of the “Billionaires\nfor Boush (or Gore)
 ” and the “Billionaires for More Media Mergers\,” political satire gr
 oups using humor to call attention to the corruptive influence of money in 
 politics and media. She is a graduate\nof Hampshire College. Pozner will sp
 eak at 7:00pm in the Austin Auditorium at the LaSells Stewart Center on Mon
 day\, February 23\, 2009. For additional information or accommodations call
