A look into the lack of Black faculty representation and what it means for students at CSUN
This project examines the lack of Black faculty representation in the College of Business and Economics at CSUN, drawing on institutional data, student perspectives, and expert insights. Despite being one of the most diverse campuses in the CSU system, the college has seen little progress in increasing the number of Black faculty over the past decade. Through interviews and research, this story explores the impact of representation on students' experiences and the challenges of building a more diverse academic environment.
Examining the underrepresentation of women in key creative roles across the film industry
This project explores gender disparities in the film industry, focusing on the underrepresentation of women in key creative roles, including directing, producing, writing, and cinematography. Using data from industry reports, including the Celluloid Ceiling Report, the project highlights that men continue to dominate behind-the-scenes positions despite gradual progress. Through data visualization and analysis, the story examines what these gaps reveal about opportunity, representation, and change in Hollywood.
Fact vs Fiction: Misinformation in Presidential Debates
This project examines the spread of misinformation during the 2024 presidential campaign, focusing on claims made during debates and their amplification through media coverage. Using examples of widely circulated false statements and fact-checking by independent organizations, the project highlights how misinformation shapes public perception, reinforces bias, and challenges journalism's role in holding political figures accountable.
