Michael Marmon

Michael Marmon comes from an academic background with a firm emphasis on technology from societal and political perspectives. His undergraduate work focused on these concepts through the acquisition of degrees in film and political science. He later fleshed out these concepts by acquiring a master’s degree in information resources and library science. Michael's current research interests include the social, political and educational aspects of technology and the impact that these devices and software have on all facets of twenty-first century life. To better understand the role of technology in our modern society, Michael completed a PhD in Learning Technologies from the University of North Texas.
