Germaine Halegoua is the John D. Evans Development Professor & associate professor of Communication and Media at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on the relationships between people, place, and digital media. In particular, she’s interested in how visions of digital media by public officials and urban planners often conflict with popular imaginations and everyday experiences of digital technologies and infrastructures. Her research and writing have been published in several anthologies, online venues, and journals including New Media & Society, Social Media + Society, International Journal of Cultural Studies, Journal of Urban Technology, Planning Practice and Research, and Urban Affairs Review. She is the author of The Digital City (NYU Press, 2020) and Smart Cities (MIT Press Essential Knowledge Series, 2020), co-editor of Locating Emerging Media (Routledge, 2016) and The Routledge Companion to Media and the City (2022), and a special issue of Convergence on “Digital Placemaking” (June 2021).
