Hello, I'm Whit Pow.

I am an Assistant Professor
at New York University.

I’m Whit Pow. I am an Assistant Professor at New York University in the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication.

I am a media historian whose research lies at the intersection of transgender media studies, trans of color critique, electronic art, and video game and computer history.

My work has been published in Flow Journal, Camera Obscura, Feminist Media Histories, Journal of Cinema and Media Studies, ROMchip: A Journal of Game Histories, among others. I am a recipient of the NYU Center for the Humanities Fellowship, the Career Enhancement Fellowship funded by the Mellon Foundation, and the ACLS Digital Justice Seed Grant for the Trans Games Digital Zine Project, directed by Ari Gass and Teddy Pozo.

My first book, Unmediating: A Trans Media History is now under contract with Duke University Press and will be published with the ASTERISK trans studies book series, edited by Susan Stryker, Eliza Steinbock, Jian Neo Chen, and Marquis Bey.
