About the Contributors
Author
Richard S. Lewis is currently faculty—and the library director—at Prescott College (an innovative and experiential university in the US focused on the environment and social justice). He completed his interdisciplinary doctorate in Philosophy of Technology and Media & Communications Studies from the Free University of Brussels (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) in 2020, following that with a one-year postdoc at the Catholic University of Lille. His posthuman approach brings philosophical posthumanism together with postphenomenology, media ecology, and complexity to better understand the impact of media and technology at both the personal and sociocultural levels. He earned his Master’s in 2003 from the University of Arizona in information research and library sciences, with a concentration on the usability of technology.
