Prof. Dr. Simon Kühne from the Faculty of Sociology at Bielefeld University will give a talk on gender stereotypes on Instagram on 27 June. In room W9-109 at Bielefeld University, he will talk about social media as a source of behavioural data and the extent to which images on Instagram can provide an insightful perspective as an alternative to textual data. The talk, which is part of the ZeSt Colloquium, will focus on a case study that uses social media images, particularly self-portraits, as a tool to explore gender roles, representation and stereotypes.
