André Brock, an associate professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication, was featured in the article, 'André Brock charts the hidden history of Black cybercultures', published on January 18, 2022.
The article discusses Brock's January 12th webinar that was part of the Feminist and Accessible Publishing, Communications, and Technologies speaker series.
An excerpt:
“My aim in that book was to unpack what Black technology use, or Black technoculture, would look like from the perspective of Black folk,” Brock said. “In doing so, however, I had to consider the context of what Black technoculture is gestated, that is, the white Western world and Western technoculture.”
