Dr. Cate Cleo Alexander is a recent graduate of the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto. Her dissertation, “Digital History Content Creation: Platformed Precarity and Affective Innovations” examines the work of digital history content creators within the context of platform logics that simultaneously enable and restrict access to historical content. Alexander employs a wide variety of methodologies in her research, including autoethnography, digital ethnography, media historiographies, sampling/scraping, qualitative coding, and artistic autoethnographic experiments with genAI. In other words, she spends a lot of time looking at history on the Internet.
