Steven Nathaniel, Ph.D. Email & Phone Number

Steven Nathaniel is an Assistant Professor of Integrative, African American, and Digital Studies whose research applies ideas from science and technology studies to literature, film, and digital media. This broad and interdisciplinary curiosity takes many forms, but it focuses on the way communication technologies shape the expression of racial identity. He teaches DS 350, Social Media in Culture, and DS 201, Digital Identities and Communities. His past work as a mechanical engineer shapes the way he thinks about technology’s social effects, but more importantly it drives his passion for working with students who enjoy crossing disciplinary boundaries.
