SUMMARY:‘Understanding Digital Racism After COVID-19’ with Professor Lisa Nakamura | Oxford Internet Institute
DESCRIPTION:The Oxford Internet Institute hosts Lisa Nakamura\, lisanakamura.net\, Director\, Digital Studies Institute\, Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor\, Department of American Culture\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Professor Nakamura is the founding Director of the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan\, and a writer focusing on digital media\, race\, and gender. \nWe are living in an open-ended crisis with two faces: unexpected accelerated digital adoption and an impassioned and invigorated racial justice movement. These two vast and overlapping cultural transitions require new inquiry into the entangled and intensified dialogue between race and digital technology after COVID. My project analyzes digital racial practices on Facebook\, Twitter\, Zoom\, and TikTok while we are in the midst of a technological and racialized cultural breaking point\, both to speak from within the crisis and to leave a record for those who come after us. How to Understand Digital Racism After COVID-19 contains three parts: Methods\, Objects\, and Making\, designed to provide humanists and critical social scientists from diverse disciplines or experience levels with pragmatic and easy to use tools and methods for accelerated critical analyses of the digital racial pandemic.
