Elisha Lim (they/them) researches the intersection of social media, theology and critical race theory, and is currently working on a book about the rise in distorted identity politics, from ethnic fraud and polarizing populism to hyperbolic corporate solidarity statements.

Lim is also an award-winning claymation filmmaker, and their queer and transgender films, comic strips, and graphic novel (100 Crushes, Koyama Press) are documented by Duke University Press and Inanna Press monographs. They have written about algorithms and identity economics in academic journals and the media (The Daily Beast; hyperallergic; Document Journal; TEDxUofT) as well as thematically in their upcoming graphic novel, 8 Dreams About You.
