From 2012 to 2018, she covered culture for Slate Magazine as a staff writer, editor, and the host of the film and TV podcast "Represent," where she wrote about everything from the history of self-care to Dolly Parton’s (formerly Dixie) Stampede and interviewed creators like Barry Jenkins and Greta Gerwig.
Harris joined The New York Times in 2018 as the assistant TV editor on the Culture Desk and produced various pieces, including a feature Q&A with the Exonerated Five and a deep dive into the emotional climax of the Pixar movie "Coco." In 2019, she moved to the Opinion Desk as the culture editor, where she wrote and edited various pieces at the intersection of the arts, society, and politics.
Born and raised in Connecticut, Harris earned her bachelor’s degree in theatre from Northwestern University and her master’s degree in cinema studies from New York University. She is the author of the essay collection "Wannabe: Reckonings with the Pop Culture that Shapes Me."

Aisha Harris Speaking Topics
Hollywood’s efforts to bring more varied perspectives to the screen through casting/diversity programs/social media marketing, and how the industry has succeeded and/or fallen short.

What it means to be a professional critic in an era when anyone’s opinion can be broadcast to the public via social media, and how to tap into and refine our engagement with art.
The conflation of taste and identity in today’s social media culture and how this over-affiliation warps the artist-consumer relationship while often revealing political and moral leanings (the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard case, Kanye West defenders, etc.).
Our culture’s fixation on revisiting and recycling the past, from Hollywood’s glut of reboots and sequels to reconsiderations of iconic figures (i.e. freebritney, nipplegate, Surviving R. Kelly) and how they reflect and impact the current moment.
Pop culture’s ability to create mythologies and shape societal perceptions that are hard to combat – especially stereotypes around race, gender, sexuality, and class, depictions of law enforcement, ideas around American identity.
