This set of interviews with a dozen scholars from across the academic disciplines and theologians provides a window into cutting-edge pedagogies surrounding the the themes of religion technology and human presence. The courses and pedagogical strategies that we discuss in this series emerge from a variety of settings—from liberal arts colleges to research universities. This limited series is designed to help educators scholars and journalists think about how to teach and communicate about these complex and entangled elements of contemporary society in ways that are compelling and meaningful.

Kevin Healey is an Associate Professor of Communication at the University of New Hampshire. His work focuses on the ethical and religious dimensions of digital culture. Kevin’s latest book, co-authored with Robert H. Woods, Jr., is "Ethics and Religion in the Age of Social Media: Digital Proverbs for Responsible Citizens".
He discusses his multi-faceted approach to teaching in contemplative media studies, relatively new field that integrates empirical social-science research (neuroscience, medicine, psychology, psychiatry) with insights derived from first-person contemplative practices (mindfulness training, meditation, yoga, arts and music therapy).
