Lisa Ann Parks is an American media scholar who won a MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship in 2018 for "exploring the global reach of information technology infrastructures".[1] A professor of Comparative Media Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Parks is director of the Global Media Technologies and Cultures Lab.

Contributions

Parks's research examines the effects of technologies such as satellites, remote sensing, and drones on society. Her 2005 book Cultures in Orbit: Satellites and the Televisual showed how the rise of satellites in television, warfare, and astronomy led to a more globalized understanding of the world among viewers, but also provided new opportunities to filter what people could see.[2] Choice praised Cultures in Orbit as a "fascinating study of satellite information gathering" but also noted that "the book's academic, jargon-filled style puts this interesting discussion beyond the reach of inexperienced readers."[3]

In 2018 she published the book Rethinking Media Coverage: Vertical Mediation and the War on Terror, which explores how TV news, airport checkpoints, satellite imagery, and drone media generate forms of "'coverage' that make vertical space intelligible to global publics in new ways and powerfully reveals what is at stake in controlling it."[4] Parks also co-edited the books Life in the Age of Drone Warfare with Caren Kaplan and Signal Traffic: Critical Studies of Media Infrastructures with Nicole Starosielski. Parks explores "how greater understanding of media systems can inform and assist citizens, scholars and policymakers in the US and abroad to advance campaigns for technological literacy, creative expression, social justice, and human rights."[5]

Education and career

Parks grew up in Missoula, Montana, and earned a bachelor of arts in Political Science and History at the University of Montana.[6]

She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1998.[7] She previously worked at the University of California, Santa Barbara but moved to MIT in 2016.[8][9]
