Graduate Student Dissertation Title

“White Supremacy Goes Online: The Early Digital History of White Power Activists and how they Shaped the Internet, 1984-1999”

Bio

Ian Glazman-Schillinger is a fourth-year doctoral candidate studying late 20th-century hate movements. His research concerns white power activists’ use of digital technologies in the 1980s and 1990s to combat the systemic infiltration of their movements by government forces. This research has naturally led him to study the regulatory debate about free speech on the internet, with a particular emphasis on the mid-to-late-1990s.

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. Of great interest to Ian is the development and implementation of methodologies that acknowledge the unique qualities of born-digital materials.

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. He continues to build on this international research profile by submitting to journals and participating at conferences outside of the United States, alongside his domestic research activities.
