Dr. Katie Davis onderzoekt de ingewikkelde manieren waarop nieuwe mediale technologieën de persoonlijke, sociale en academische levens van jongeren vormgeven. Haar werk onderzoekt kritisch de kruising van technologie en identiteitsontwikkeling tijdens de adolescentie en de vroege volwassenheid. Ze zet zich in om de kloof tussen onderzoek en praktijk te overbruggen en deelt haar inzichten met onderwijzers, ouders en beleidsmakers.
Katie Davis traveled to Uganda for a short mission trip over the Christmas break of her senior year in high school. She found herself so moved by the Ugandan people and their needs that she knew it was her calling to return to care for them. She is now in the process of adopting thirteen children there, and has established the ministry, Amazima, that cares for hundreds more. Here, she shares her story.
"Davis addresses the "screen time" debate by recognizing that children's experiences of technology and social relationships are qualitatively distinct at different stages of development"-- Provided by publisher
