I have used the "killing us softly" film to facilitate discussion of
stereotyping and the media. As I encourage my students to examine the
research bases of text and class material, I am wondering if others have
explored in class the empirical bases of the conclusions drawn from the
films--regarding the relationship between media images and presentations
and actual violence, sexual abuse, rape, etc. It has been a few years
since I have used this film, but I do not recall a strong research base
for some of the inferences drawn...many of which imply causality. I ask
because I was thinking of sending my students to see a presentation
based on the film. Gary Peterson
