Graduate Student, The Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

Ann Alex (She/Her) is a PhD Student at The Harriet Tubman Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Department of the University of Maryland. She was born and raised in Kerala, India. She graduated with an MA English from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi in 2020 and a BA English from The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad in 2018.  She is interested in how western digital technologies enable misogyny while structurally invisiblizing caste and class differences. She aims to problematize digital media studies’ constrained treatment of the multiple modalities of race, gender, caste, and class which shape fan identities and their activities online. In her free time she likes playing platform-adventure games like Gris, taking walks in her new American neighbourhood and people-gazing at the farmers’ markets.
