About
Kyle Lindsey is a Ph.D. candidate in American Culture and a certificate student of the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His research uses black feminist and queer theories to highlight how black content creators buffer bad faith and violent engagements online to produce viable intellectual and intimate digital communities. In studying this latest generation of cultural producers, he hopes to explore and expand on the state of digital criticism and mark this moment as the latest in a genealogy of black cultural criticism. Lindsey is the co-author of Racist Zoombombing (2021), a monograph co-authored with Lisa Nakamura and Hanah Stiverson.
