Lisa Daily

Lisa Daily’s interests focus on media, commodity culture, global capitalism, humanitarianism, and in/justice. Her current work critically analyzes an ongoing movement within capitalism to make it “better”—more conscious, caring, and ethical. Examples of this abound—from the recent passing of Benefit Corporation legislation throughout the US, to organizations such as Conscious Capitalism™ to consumer-activism and commodities that vow to “do good” with every purchase. Daily serves on the governing board for the Cultural Studies Association where she also acts as chair for the Visual Culture Working Group. Prior to joining Gallatin, Daily managed several grant-funded creative writing and cultural exchange programs at the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa and taught Global Affairs, Cultural Studies, and humanities courses at George Mason University and the University of South Florida.
