Sam Han | Eportfolio

I am currently Instructional Technology Fellow of the Macaulay Honors College and a PhD candidate in Sociology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York(CUNY). Previously, I was Substitute (Visiting) Instructor of Sociology at the College of Staten Island. Broadly speaking, my research interests comprise of religion, science and technology, social and cultural theory, new media, identity, and race/ethnicity. I’m completing a dissertation entitled “Technologies of Spirit: The Digital Worlds of Contemporary Christianity” that examines the convergence of religion and digital media technologies, looking at, on the one hand, the largely technological mode of worship and ministry favored by today’s multi-site Christian churches and, on the other, the virtual effect of “God Vision” of everyday visual mapping technologies such as Google Maps and Google Earth.

I have published a number of articles, chapters and books, about which more can be found in the “Research” page.

I also blog regularly for the “here&there” section of the Social Science Research Council‘s religion blog, The Immanent Frame.

Feel free to look around the site and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about me or my work.
