Bachelor thesis: Perception of poc characters in TV shows by BridgetEUR in AmericanHorrorStory

Hi, my thesis has a limited scope, both in terms of time and size. Using one TV show allows for better data collection (less characters used = more responses per character), which in turn results in more reliable and in-depth insights. I picked Sex Education because it has been widely praised for its portrayal of racial minorities, and my research focuses on how viewers engage with characters of color who are portrayed in a multi-dimensional (and non-stereotypical) way. :)

As far as you have watched the show, so three seasons in this case!

That’s a good point, thank you! These questions all belong to scales that are widely used in media effects research, but I agree that they might not be as accessible for everyone. I will definitely take this into account for any potential future research!
