Hi! My name is Molly McLaughlin. I am currently a senior (class of 2021) at Gettysburg College. I am a Sociology major with a minor in Theatre Arts. This site showcases my Sociology capstone research regarding the representation of women in Academy Award-winning films from 1930 to 2005. My research focuses on how the representation of women has changed in films since the 1930s and the social and political events in the United States that have sparked these changes.
Career Goals
At the present time, I am hoping to pursue a career in Market Research, Public Relations, or Marketing. I am actively applying for jobs and I am not sure where this will lead me but I know Gettysburg has prepared me to have a successful career no matter where it takes me.
For my long-term career goals, I hope to work at a Market Research firm initially and then work internally for a brand in the cosmetics or fashion industry.
