critical investigation tutorial (1)

·         Good topic and text – but may need to consider the question carefully as there may simply be too much to cover in 2,000 words. Perhaps consider focusing on heterosexual norms and bring gender stereotypes into that rather than trying to cover everything in the question.
·         You could also re-work the whole question to focus on gender and feminism – exploring whether fashion magazines like Vogue advance or damage feminist causes. In terms of linking this to mental health and body image, I’m sure there will be links – surely there would be recent feminist campaigns that highlight this issue? As well as feminist theories (such as McRobbie) that explore the other side of the argument and suggest the increasingly sexual representation of women in lifestyle magazines is actually about empowerment.
·         Linked production – print fashion magazine.
·         Next steps: finish project proposal and start building a comprehensive research plan.

·         Post this to your blog with a brief plan for what you will work on in the next two weeks.
