Overall Research Project Description For this project, we want to explore care work depictions in advertisements. Specifically, we want to look at advertisements for household products, and explore who is depicted as mainly responsible/knowledgeable for the household care task. We will look at variables such as gender and race, to see what the representation for these types of ads looks like. Care work is a task that has been historically associated with women; we want to explore if current ad depictions continue to reinforce this more traditional notion, or if there are newer representations that promote a message of equal responsibility between women and men for household care tasks.

Research Tasks Literature review, data collection, coding

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Good time management - required
Able to work in a team - required
Good communication skills - required
Good writing skills - recommended

Mentoring Philosophy My mentoring philosophy is all about creating an environment in which mentees can excel. Yes, I have goals with the work I'm doing, but I also very much prioritize mentees gaining something from it. I wish to be able to coach my mentees as much as possible and teach them important skills that they will benefit from once they enter the workforce. I also very much believe in giving credit where credit is due; if my mentees work hard and contribute to the writing of the research paper we work on, they can absolutely expect authorship on said paper. I will honor that for any conference presentation or potential journal publication where this paper is submitted.
