This week, Jabari talked with Dr. Andre Brock, who is an Associate Professor in the School of Literature, Media & Communication at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Brock is one of the preeminent scholars of Black Cyberculture. His work bridges Science and Technology Studies and Critical Discourse Analysis, showing how the communicative affordances of online media align with those of Black communication practices. His scholarship includes published articles on racial representations in video games, black women and weblogs, whiteness, blackness, and digital technoculture, as well as groundbreaking research on Black Twitter. His widely acclaimed book titled Distributed Blackness: African American Cybercultures was published in February 2020 by NYU Press, offering insights into understanding Black everyday lives mediated by networked technologies.
Uncommon Naledge is hosted by Dr. Jabari Evans and edited and produced by Connor Bird.
