Dr. Nigel Haarstad 

Dr. Nigel Haarstad is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Communication and Digital Studies, teaching remotely for the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He has spent the last decade studying the ways social media is changing our communication patterns, working as a Computational Disinformation Analyst tracking coordinated campaigns, designing messaging for emergency alerts, and studying the impact of "new media" on our perceptions of risk. On the weekends, you'll find Nigel out on the prairie taking photos of wildlife, biking, or anything else not involving a screen.
