About

Chad Van de Wiele (he/they) is a critical media and black studies scholar, abolitionist, and educator. His interests are broadly centered on the relationship between technology, knowledge/power, and carcerality. Using an interdisciplinary, critical race/STS lens, Chad's research examines the political-economic and sociotechnical aspects of police surveillance and digital carceral infrastructure––particularly as they are (re)imagined, co-produced, and/or resisted in the context of post-industrial urban redevelopment.
