Joshua Glick is Visiting Associate Professor of Film and Electronic Arts at Bard College. Dr. Glick’s research and teaching are focused on the comparative histories of film, television, and radio; nonfiction media; race and representation; and the civic uses of emerging technology. He is the author of Los Angeles Documentary and the Production of Public History (University of California Press, 2018). As a Fellow at MIT’s Open Documentary Lab, and in collaboration with colleagues at the  Center for Advanced Virtuality, he designed the online curriculum, Media Literacy in the Age of Deepfakes. Glick also recently co-curated an exhibition at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York: Deepfake: Unstable Evidence on Screen. His current book project explores how the rising investment in nonfiction on both the left and right of the political spectrum over the last thirty years has transformed the relationship between Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and Washington, D.C.
