Brooklyne Gipson

Brooklyne Gipson is an internet studies scholar whose research examines digital and social media environments through the lenses of Black feminist technology studies and the intersection of race, gender, and power. Her current work utilizes an intersectional framework and mixed methodologies (including digital ethnography and discourse analysis) to analyze how anti-Black discourses circulate in everyday exchanges within Black social media spaces.

In 2021, Gipson received a fellowship from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government’s Shorenstein Center for Media, Politics and Public Policy to support research on her forthcoming first book, The Black Mirror World: Racialized Disinformation and Misogynoir Online, which explores the iterative relationship between contempt for Black women, disinformation, cognitive bias, and algorithmic recommendation systems.

Gipson is an editor of the forthcoming edited volume "Intersectional Internet II: Power, Politics and Labor." She is also an affiliate of the NYU Center for Critical Race and Digital Studies.
