Hi there! You've landed at the right place if you're looking for me -- Jessie Daniels (PhD), author and professor in New York City.
I'm the author of White Lies (1997) and Cyber Racism (2009), two books about race and various forms of media. My next book, Google Bombs, Astroturf and Cloaked Sites, takes a look at propaganda in the digital era. It's due out in later in 2011 from Routledge. In a different but related project, I'm looking at race, feminism and blogging. I'm also involved in a large research project on LGBT people of color; my particular interest is in LGBT youth, their use of technology and how that relates to health.
In my spare time, I'm writing a memoir about coming of age in South Texas.
I am Associate Professor of Urban Public Health at Hunter College and the Graduate Center-CUNY. I'm also a Senior Fellow at the Center for Health, Media and Policy (CHMP) at Hunter College.
I earned an MA and PhD in Sociology from the University of Texas at Austin where I worked with Joe R. Feagin (past president of the American Sociological Association). Following that, I was named Charles Phelps Taft Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Cincinnati with Patricia Hill Collins (past president of the American Sociological Association).
