Felicia Wu Song is a cultural sociologist who studies the place of digital technologies in contemporary life. She’s trained in history, communication studies, and sociology from Yale, Northwestern, and the University of Virginia.

Her research focuses on the rapidly evolving digital technology industry and how the adoption of social media and digital devices alters the landscapes of family, community, and organizational life. Song has written two books on the topic: Restless Devices: Recovering Personhood, presence, and Place in the Digital Age and Virtual Communities: Bowling Alone, Online Together.

She’s provided her expertise to a wide range of organizations, including BioLogos, The Vatican, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, Trinity Forum, Thinq Culture Summit, National Association of Evangelicals, Notre Dame University, Fuller Theological Seminary, and Asian American Christian Collaborative.
