It's not about creating an archetype to represent an entire group, it's not about 'getting' or understanding them," said Mariam Asad, a Ph.D. student in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication. "That, to me, makes a representation or a depiction feel cheap and exploitative, like it's a static platitude to be consumed and never considered again."  Source:  New Hampshire Public Radio, November 12, 2013
