Lecturer
Expertise: Jordan specializes in the philosophy and ethics of technology, phenomenology and the philosophy of art. His current research focuses on the ethical, social and phenomenological intersections of virtual reality, extended reality and artificial intelligence. He understands technology primarily in terms of "mediation relations" where technologies and their users co-substantiate each other in a shared techno-social world, a critical lens given the meteoric rise social media and computing technologies. He has presented his work at IACAP, SPEP, and the Harvard/MIT Social & Ethical Responsibilities of Computing Conference, and has taught courses on ethics and technology at a number of Boston area universities.
