My name is Samantha Pinson Wrisley and I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Emory University and a Fellow at the Institute for Research on Male Supremacism. I use media studies techniques and methods to ​analyze social movements, including hate movements (like incel and TERFs), as well as the gendered/sexual politics of advanced technology and artificial intelligence (AI). I am currently working on a book titled The Sexual Politics of the Digital: Affect, Anti-Feminism, Algorithms, and AI, which braids these two strands of my work together to analyze the degree to which this divisive moment in gender politics is inflamed by advanced technology (e.g., "relational AI" like AI girlfriends, dating sites, internet pornography, men's movement forums). 

 

You can read some of my published work in the journals Capacious: Journal for Emerging Affect Inquiry and Feminist Theory.
