Nathan Jurgenson is a social media theorist and author of “The Social Photo: On photography and social media” (Verso Books, 2019). Nathan is founder and editor in chief of Real Life magazine, co-founder and co-chair of the Theorizing the Web conference, an editor emeritus at the New Inquiry, and Sociologist at Snap Inc. 

Much of this work centers on a critique of “digital dualism”, a phrase he coined to describe the false belief that the internet is a separate virtual sphere or cyber space. Instead, Nathan approaches digitality as embodied, material, and real. Nathan lives in Los Angeles, California.
