In addition, an analysis of Tangled with a focus on a gender-critical reading, as well as a class discussion on how and to what extent a postcolonial reading of Moana is or can be meaningful.


Moreover, the students worked with an individual presentation each, focused on answering an assignment shaped much as a SOP would be:

"Provide a brief account of social conditions in the USA that may be relevant to The Walt Disney Company's branding in relation to diversity and social inequality.

Develop an analysis of self-chosen communication material from the company, focusing on how they promote their views on diversity and social inequality to their target audience.

Discuss whether The Walt Disney Company has a responsibility to address current social issues, and evaluate, if possible, whether they are successful in their branding strategy."

The students did their own research and work and the product was an oral presentation.
