Lori Emerson

Lori Emerson is an Associate Professor in the Media Studies Department, Founding Director of the Media Archaeology Lab, and Director of the Intermedia Art, Writing and Performance Program at the University of Colorado Boulder. She is co-author of The Lab Book: Situated Practices in Media Studies (2022) and author of Reading Writing Interfaces (2014). Her research focuses on uncovering crisis points in past media, points at which there was the possibility--even if never fully realized--for technologies that are definitively "other" than those we have now. She also deconstructs narratives of how contemporary technologies came to be by looking at artists' and writers' experiments with network technologies.
