About Bisma Fida
Bisma strongly believes pop culture shapes human lives. She is particularly concerned about the media portrayals of gender, class, race, and sexuality on television, their intersectionality, and ultimately how audiences perceive each of these constructs.
Bisma is a Political Science and Communications major. Much of her formal research interests are centered around areas of gender, communication, and development with a specific focus on ICT4D, C4D, and Gender and Media. She likes to spend her spare time devouring Simone de Beauvoir, Noam Chomsky, Edward Said, and Judith Butler. In that light, she strongly suggests you pick up Said's Orientalism or Beauvoir's Second Sex. Neither are recreational, but they will deconstruct your social reality.
