Ashleigh Cassemere-Stanfield is an Assistant Professor of Film and Media Studies at º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù. They work at the intersection of Black Studies, Videogame Studies, Queer Theory, Media Theory, and New Materialism. Their research examines the imaginary that subtends artificial intelligence. Specifically, it explores how the abrasive generativity of AI rhymes with a similar generativity within blackness and queerness. Their teaching combines speculative design and critical theory in order to teach students to thoughtfully engage with, remix, and reimagine the media objects and environments that constitute their lives.
