Dr. Elizabeth M. Alexander | brown bag talk
Dr. Alexander designs and develops across digital and print media, with a critical and creative research practice focused on Black women’s technoculture, the embodied lifecycles of cultural and personal data, and the Southwest Side of Chicago.
They have held a Mellon Editorial Fellowship at Northwestern University Press, co-produced the episode “Growing a Greater Englewood” with Change Agents the Podcast, and is a member of the Immersive Realities Lab for the Humanities digital experimental workgroup, among other fellowships & projects.
Currently, they’re working on Erotic Data Poetics, a hybrid book project exploring womanist poetics as a framework for collecting, analyzing, and using data.
Elizabeth earned their doctorate in Literatures in English from Cornell University in 2021.
I can't say enough about how excited I am to be here listening to Liz Alexander's #BlackDH about Audre Lorde's poetics and the materiality of data. Opening this talk thinking about the prob of putting 'algorithmic desire' ahead of sustainable workflows. My goodness. + https://t.co/sqGAvsaZk9
