My name is Lisa Nakamura and I’m the Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor in the Department of American Cultures at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I am the Primary Investigator (P.I.) of the DISCO (Digital Inquiry, Speculation, Collaboration, and Optimism) multi-institutional Network along with Rayvon Fouché at Northwestern, Catherine Knight Steele at the University of Maryland College Park, and Remi Yergeau at Carleton University. I am also the founding Director of the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan and I’ve been writing about digital media, race, and gender since 1994. I’ve written books and articles on digital bodies, race, and gender in online environments, on toxicity in video game culture, and the many reasons that Internet research needs ethnic and gender studies.
