The Animated Woman: A Symposium on Gender Bias in Animation was held at CalArts in Dec. 2015. Students from The Animated Woman class, taught by faculty Erica Larsen-Dockray (Film/Video BFA 09, MFA 12), presented research and responses on the issue of how female characters are represented in animation.
During her segment, Patty Casaverde (Film/Video BFA 18) talked about how Latino/a’s are portrayed in animation and how those stereotypes have affected how she views herself.
