Luke Stark

I'm a historian of digital technologies unpacking the intersections of behavioral science, ethics, and computing. My work reveals how behavioral technologies affect human privacy, emotional expression, and digital labor. My current book project, Orders of Emotion: Computing and Human Feeling from Feedback to Facebook, is a history of affective computing and the digital quantification of emotion from cybernetics to social media platforms.

I'm currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Sociology at Dartmouth College, and a Fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. I hold a PhD from the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University.
