She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1971, her masters in 1980 at San Francisco State University, and her PhD in film and television at the University of Oregon in 1989.[1]

Career

Bobo has worked on studying the response of Black women for films such as Daughters of the Dust, The Color Purple, Gone with the Wind, Civil Brand, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Claudine. She interviewed a group of selected Black women and asked them how they felt about their portrayal in the 1985 film The Color Purple.[2][3] She has analyzed the language used in media representing Black women and how it's changed within the last century.[4] Bobo's observations contextualize the historical aspects perceived in these media outlets.[4]
