The Race and Mediated Cultures series elucidates the mutually constitutive relationship between race and mediated cultures in transdisciplinary humanistic scholarship. Media cultures are defined broadly by the series to include screen cultures, social media, surveillance, data algorithms and informatics, networks and institutions, fandom and media activism, propaganda, and other permutations of mediated life. The series seek works that explore, for example, the role of race in the mediated discourses of political cultures and campaigns, race and entertainment industry production cultures, the raced dynamics of social media algorithms, and the role of media in predictive policing.

Inquiries should be directed to Kristen Elias Rowley at The Ohio State University Press.
