THOMAS CONNER
I’m a media scholar, cultural journalist, and university educator whose research explores how emerging technologies — particularly holograms, AR, and immersive media — reshape cultural memory, identity, and presence. My blend of scholarly rigor and real-world experience bridges critical media studies and hands-on communication pedagogy, informed by years of experience as an award-winning newspaper critic and columnist. I teach courses in media history, popular culture, research methods, and journalism, and I’m currently completing a book titled Looking Through You: Digital Holograms and the New Technical Image.
