Prometheus brought the gift of enlightenment to humanity and
suffered for his benevolence. This collection takes on scholars’
Promethean view of themselves as selfless bringers of light and
instead offers a new vision of public scholarship as service to
society. Thomas J Billard and Silvio Waisbord curate essays from a
wide range of specialties within the study of communication. Aimed
at scholars and students alike, the contributors use approaches
from critical meditations to case studies to how-to guides as they
explore the possibilities of seeing shared knowledge not as a gift
to be granted but as an imperative urging readers to address the
problems of the world. Throughout the volume, the works show that a
pivot to ideas of scholarship as public service is already underway
in corners of communication studies across the country. Visionary
and provocative, Public Scholarship in Communication Studies
proposes a needed reconsideration of knowledge and a roadmap to its
integration with community. Contributors: Elaine Almeida, Becca
Beets, Thomas J Billard, Danielle K. Brown, Aymar Jean Christian,
Stacey L. Connaughton, Paula Gardner, Larry Gross, Amy Jordan,
Daniel Kreiss, Rachel Kuo, Susan Mancino, Shannon C. McGregor,
Philip M. Napoli, Todd P. Newman, Srividya Ramasubramanian, Chad
Raphael, Sue Robinson, Silvio Waisbord, Yidong Wang, and Holley

Current characters in children's entertainment media illustrate a
growing trend of representations that challenge or subvert
traditional notions of gender and sexuality. From films to picture
books to animated television series, children's entertainment media
around the world has consistently depicted stereotypically
traditional gender roles and heterosexual relationships as the
normal way that people act and engage with one another. Heroes,
Heroines, and Everything in Between: Challenging Gender and
Sexuality Stereotypes in Children's Entertainment Media examines
how this media ecology now includes a presence for
nonheteronormative genders and sexualities. It considers
representations of such identities in various media products (e.g.,
comic books, television shows, animated films, films, children's
literature) meant for children (e.g., toddlers to teenagers). The
contributors seek to identify and understand characterizations that
go beyond these traditional understandings of gender and sexuality.
By doing so, they explore these nontraditional representations and
consider what they say about the current state of children's
entertainment media, popular culture, and global acceptance of
these gender identities and sexualities.
