Casidy Campbell

Trained as an interdisciplinary scholar, Casidy Campbell’s areas of specialization include histories of Black girl(hood) and Black women, Black feminist theory (focusing on sexuality, pleasure, subjectivity, and geography), digital studies, and the history of technology. She current book project, tentatively titled “When Play Turns Lethal: Technopoesis and the (After)lives of Black Girls,” explores the life histories of murdered Black girls to interrogate how Black digital and offline media practices become captured within technocratic infrastructures, producing archival afterlives rooted in violence that constrain more expansive visions of Black life, being and justice. 

Prior to joining Barnard, Campbell was an Assistant Professor of Media Studies in the African American and African Studies Department at The Ohio State University and Weinberg Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern University.
