Biography:

Hunter Hargraves teaches courses on contemporary American television studies. His research interests include television history and theory, smartphone culture, affect studies and popular cultural studies engaging with questions of race, gender and sexuality. He has published in journals such as Camera Obscura, Television & New Media, and in the anthology A Companion to Reality Television. He is currently finishing a manuscript entitled "Viscerally Uncomfortable Television," which asks why spectators of contemporary American television derive pleasure from stories that are designed to provoke feelings of discomfort and disgust.
