معرفی
Dr. Golden Owens is a Professor in the Department of Cinema & Media Studies at Northwestern University, specializing in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of race, gender, artificial intelligence, and media studies. Her work interrogates how contemporary virtual assistants like Alexa and Siri are culturally and historically haunted by Black women's labor in the United States, drawing connections to 20th/21st-century media depictions of domestic workers and automated systems.
Research highlights include:
- Current book project analyzing the racialized and gendered underpinnings of AI assistants
- Publications in Sounding Out! and Journal for Cinema and Media Studies
- Grants from prestigious institutions including the Ford Foundation (via National Academies), Mellon Foundation, and Social Science Research Council
- Active exploration of racialized sounds, postmodern media theory, and labor-saving technologies
As a newly appointed faculty member, Dr. Owens brings fresh perspectives on navigating academia for emerging scholars, as shared in her April 2024 ENewsletter interview.
