Questions asked by this panel examine various ideologies conveyed in children’s television programming as well as how children receive and negotiate such messages. Pregnancy, parenthood, educational authorities, and child audiences will all be scrutinized in order to better understand what programs like Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Doc McStuffins, Rugrats, Caillou, and Wansapanataym have to say about childhood and the power structures they negotiate.
