About
Nate Tkacz is a Professor of Digital Media and Culture at Goldsmiths, University of London. His broad interest is in understanding how digital
technologies produce and (re)shape culture, politics and society. He has approached this in a number
of ways, for example, through a study of how digital networks change the conditions of knowledge production
(through studies of Wikipedia), or through studies of how apps transform our
relationship to money and finance (banking apps), or governance and health (covid apps). His research aims to
combine critical and technical understandings of media with creative methodological approaches.
Tkacz holds a PhD from the University of Melbourne (2012). He took up a position at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies at the University of Warwick in 2012 and remained there until 2023. He joined the School of Media, Communication and Culture at Goldsmiths as full Professor of Digital Media and Culture in 2023. Tkacz is the author or editor of five books and numerous aricles and chapters, including Wikipedia and The Politics of Openness (Chicago, 2015) and Being with Data: The Dashboarding of Everyday Life (Polity, 2022).
