I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology at Wesleyan University.
From 2016-2019 I was a Teaching and Learning Collaboratory Fellow at Macaulay Honors College, and from 2014-2016 I was a Digital Fellow at The Center for the Humanities, CUNY. In addition, I have taught at Columbia University, New York University and Hunter College. I completed my Ph.D. at the CUNY Graduate Center in 2017.
My research focuses on data systems and digital culture, queer theory and social life, death, dying and the apocalyptic imagination, affect, embodiment, art, science & technology. Check out my recent pieces on digital ephemerality in Media, Culture & Society (“The Digital Ephemeral Turn”) and Real Life (“For the Moment”) and my other publications here. Following and inspired by our 2016 conference Queer Circuits in Archival Times Daniel Sander and I guest edited a special issue of Women & Performance, which is now available.
I have a dog named Alfie, whom I love dearly. Email me at benjamin.parrish.haber at gmail.
