Putin's Press: a Mixed-Methods Analysis of State Control over Russian Media Coverage & Framing of the Jan-Feb 2021 Protests

2021 , Sanders, Sofia

This project will focus on the Russian media sphere, collecting news articles from various sources of Russian media and comparing their coverage of the January-February 2021 Russian protests to uncover the interrelationships between government control and Russian media groups, as well as the impacts of censorship at various levels of state media control. The project will utilize a mixed methods research design, using quantitative data analysis to identify trends in coverage of the protests by different media groups, as well as qualitative interviews conducted with Russian media actors to hear their experiences and perspectives on the impact of state control on the media sphere. Findings include that, for example, Russia Today, a state-controlled media group, employs very different frames for coverage, illustrating the protests much more negatively, than TV Rain, an independent media group.

“Andersrum”: Exploring Intersectionality within the LGBT Rights Movement in Berlin, Germany in the 1970s

2021 , Graffunder, Patricia

My final project will consist of a 15-minute documentary and a research paper. Through examining parts of the life and work of activist and artist Rita “Tommy” Thomas, someone very active in both the political and artistic sides of the gay and lesbian movement in Berlin throughout most of her life, I plan to explore broader themes about the role of women in the gay and lesbian activist movements as well as the collaboration of women’s activist and homosexual activist groups that in turn produced the rise of lesbian groups and activism in the 1970s. While the Berlin LGBT rights movement at this time was often seen as mainly pursuing sexual freedom and focused heavily on cisgender, white men, the intersectional goals of the movement and cooperation with organizations fighting racism, sexism, and colonialism are often overlooked (Evans). Using archival media from newspapers, photography, and recordings/films, I hope to not only bring to light these goals and the stories of groups and individuals less visible in the movement, but also display a sense of attitudes towards lesbian and activist women, both within and outside of the LGBT community. I have been able to find two women as interview partners who were involved in this cultural and political scene to incorporate anecdotes and first-hand accounts that flesh out the material I already have about Tommy. I am also hoping to find at least two more interview partners experiencing intersecting forms of oppression along with homophobia who can provide me with their perspective on queer community and identity today.

The Gray Tsunami: Facilitating Longevity, Dignity, and Happiness for Geriatric Generations through Innovation and Socialization

2021 , Anderson, Kelsie

My final project will consist of a documentary that showcases a comparative analysis of the reformation of senior living in Germany and in the United States. I am questioning if our cultures are prepared for the largest generation of seniors to come. I will briefly discuss COVID-19 impact on senior living communities, but will primarily focus on evergreen issues in senior living communities and the innovators who are changing the way our culture perceives old age and retirement. These issues entail maintaining dignified living, sustaining various dimensions of health, and preserving cognitive function.The documentary educates and facilitates relatable storylines through the intertwining journeys of pivotal industry leaders and the senior residents that live in their communities. The main narrative focuses on a Frau Lily Townsend, 93, a German resident living at Village Park Peachtree Corners. Townsend’s sister, Herta Dietz, 101, lives in a senior living community located in the German town of Bad Elster. The other subjects to be featured include industry leaders Tim Gary, CEO of Galerie Living, and Gunter Wolfram, Director of AlexA Residence for Senior Citizens.
