USC Annenberg presents a discussion featuring Communication Professor Sarah Banet-Weiser entitled ‘Kids Only: Nickelodeon, Youth & Citizenship’. Her research looks specifically at the stated mission of the children’s cable channel Nickelodeon to be inclusive of all children, and analyzes the politics of race and gender representation on the network. Ms. Banet-Weiser is also the author of ‘The Most Beautiful Girl in the World: Beauty Pageants and National Identity’ (1999), which explores the interconnections of gender, race and national identity within the Miss America pageant.
