-
Arielle Bernstein is a Hurst Senior Professorial Lecturer in the Department of Literature at Â鶹ÊÓƵ, where she also co-directs the MA in Literature, Culture, and Technology.
She is a writer and cultural critic who focuses on film, TV, art, culture, and how social media and digital communications shape human expression, interaction, intimacy, and empathy. Her writing also explores the impact of artificial intelligence on our emotional lives and how our relationship to physical objects is changing in an increasingly digitized world.
Her work has been published in The Guardian, The Atlantic, The Week, Salon, AV Club, and many other publications. She has edited two essay columns at The Rumpus and is the co-founder of Together, Alone, an online publication that explores TV, film, and pop culture. She was selected as a 2023 finalist for the CINTAS Foundation's Creative Writing Fellowship. She is writing her first novel.
