Our research interests are wide and diverse. This research includes race, class, gender, queer, feminist and cultural studies in digital environments.
Some of the research topics that our members explore are: digital technology in the prison-industrial complex; the intersection between digital technologies, algorithmic bias, infrastructure, and surveillance; the complex relationships between media storytelling, industries, technology, and politics in digital environments; how power works through both software and hardware, specifically in the realms of race and class; issues of localization in video game environments; a historical analysis to social media before the web, between the 1970s and early 1980s; how people learn in online forums, especially in digital spaces where participants spread racist and sexist narratives; and, the mainstreaming of white nationalism, male supremacism, and militancy in the U.S in digital media content.
