Ian Glazman-Schillinger

Ian Glazman-Schillinger is a sixth-year doctoral candidate studying modern American history. His research focuses on the development of discrete, sensitive digital communities in the 1980s and 1990s and the longer-term impacts of these groups on our contemporary internet, politics and culture. For more information on Ian’s research, given the sensitive nature of his research, please contact the History Department office to get in touch with him.

Ian’s work is naturally interdisciplinary and builds upon scholarship in the fields of information studies, computer mediated communication and the digital humanities, among others. Ian further engages with developing methodologies for recovering the partial and wholly incomplete archives of early computer networks, and the nascent field of web histories.

Ian’s work has been recognized by numerous organizations for its significance, including the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation and the Campbell Public Affairs Institute. He has been invited to present his work across Syracuse University, Colgate University and by the American Historical Association’s Digital History Working Group.

Ian obtained an M.A. (Hons) from the University of Aberdeen in 2017, and an M.Sc. in contemporary history from the University of Edinburgh in 2018. His work continues to attract international attention. Ian has presented his work in both North America, South America and Europe.
