Children's Television Project Research

In this course, students will work as researchers on the Children's Television Project (CTV), a longitudinal content analysis of children's cartoons. Research will include visual, behavioral, and linguistic coding of children's cartoons, as well as data cleaning, management, and analysis. Additionally, full-credit students (3 credits) will conduct original research on children's cartoons and learn some descriptive statistics. Half-credit students (2 credits) will code and contribute to a review of recent scholarship on children's media.
