Alexandra Pucciarelli is an archivist based in New York. She is also a PhD student in the Rutgers School of Communication and Information. Her research examines ethical archival collection practices with special consideration given to disability. She uses autoethnography and discourse analysis to examine phenomena related to spectatorship within information spaces. She is keenly interested in how the affective experience of looking at disquieting objects relates to power relations and how these objects have the metaphorical/actual ability to gaze back and what that says about the viewer. She has written for a variety of publications including Brooklyn Magazine, the Forward and Canvas8 on topics ranging from disability to popular culture to memory.
