Kavita Kulkarni is an interdisciplinary researcher and lecturer based in Brooklyn, New York. She is an Assistant Professor of Race and Digital Media at Fordham University, Lincoln Center, and holds a PhD from the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University. Her research examines how the interplay of media, technology, and culture produces meaning in the form of knowledge and memory across time, connecting this inquiry to matters of race and urban space. Her first book project is based on a media and performance ethnography of house music and gentrification in the historically Black neighborhood of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, 1968–2010. Kavita is a former Lecturer and ACLS Emerging Voices Postdoctoral Fellow with the Center for Digital Humanities at Princeton University. She was a 2017–2018 Helena Rubinstein Critical Studies Fellow of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Independent Studies Program, and a 2018–2019 inaugural resident of Shandaken: Governors Island.

Prior to pursuing her graduate studies, Kavita was an organizer working on various economic and housing justice issues in Atlanta, Georgia and Brooklyn, New York.
