Stevie Meriel Schmiedel, PhD, graduated from Nottingham University (Critical Theory) with a dissertation on feminist film and theatre criticism. After lecturing at Hamburg University she founded the German branch of Pinkstinks, a protest organisation campaigning against sexism in advertising, especially gender marketing in toys. As managing director of Pinkstinks Germany she is often seen on panels and in talks where she explains the mechanisms and pitfalls of gender marketing.
Examples of previous talks / appearances:
Nach einer Petition an den Deutschen Werberat, Kinder als Konsument*innen sexistischer Werbung ernst zu nehmen, versammelten sich viele Frauenrechtsorganisationen am Brandenburger Tor zu einer großen Demonstration. Pinkstinks lud ein und organisierte das Event.
