People of PS: Felicia Song

Tune in to hear Head of School, Dr. Mark Carleton, chat with author Felicia Song. Presbyterian School was honored to have Felicia on campus earlier this month for a parent ed event focused on her book, Restless Devices and the tyranny of the digital age and the meaningful pathways of resistance that can be found in Christian tradition. If you missed this parent ed event, tune in to our podcast to hear some of her thoughts. This episode is now live and available for download on our People of PS Podcast. 

Felicia Song is a sociologist, writer, speaker and former professor. She received her Bachelor of Arts in History from Yale University, an MA in Communication Studies from Northwestern University and a PhD in Sociology from the University of Virginia. She taught journalism, mass communication, and an array of sociology classes for over two decades at higher institutions of learning including Louisiana State University and Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California. Her research and wrtiing revolves around the place of media and technology in our contemporary lives and how it shapes the most fundamental ways in which we interact, think, and even perceive reality. The publication of her book, Restless Devices, has opened many opportunities for Felicia to speak, teach, and consult with Christian faith communities and leaders around the world on how we can work collectively towards living more humane lives in an otherwise digitally-saturated and consumer-oriented society.
