Jordan Shapiro Biography

Jordan Shapiro, PhD, is an American author and educator whose work focuses on the intersection of parenting, technology, and education. Shapiro's academic background includes archetypal psychology and phenomenology. He teaches philosophy at Temple University in the College of Liberal Arts and is core faculty in Temple University's Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies program, following research and authorship of a book on feminist fatherhood. Shapiro also serves as a senior fellow at The Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop and as a non-resident fellow at the Brookings Institution Center for Universal Education.

Shapiro gained public attention through his Forbes column, "Geek Philosophy," which covered global education, digital learning, and children's culture, reaching a wide international audience. He authored "The Mindshift Guide to Games and Learning" for NPR member station KQED-FM and the Asia Society Center for Global Education guide "Digital Play for Global Citizens." His expertise in childhood development and digital play was shaped by personal experiences, including playing video games with his two sons after his divorce. This journey informed his book, "The New Childhood: Raising Kids To Thrive in a Connected World," which contributed to ongoing discussions about parenting and screen time. The book draws on research in economics, psychology, philosophy, and education to provide practical advice for parenting and educating children in a connected world. It has been published in multiple languages.

Shapiro's perspective integrates psychology, philosophy, and economics. He advocates for teaching children responsible digital device use rather than imposing strict screen time limits. He hosts a podcast on digital wellbeing produced by Sesame Workshop and Roblox. His subsequent book, "Father Figure: How to be a Feminist Dad," examines fatherhood, family, and gender essentialism. The New York Times Book Review described it as "utterly mind-blowing." Shapiro's views on masculinity and feminism have been recognized by leaders such as United States Air Force General Anthony J. Cotton, who invited him to speak at the Air Force Global Strike Command's Women's Leadership Symposium.

Shapiro is an expert adviser to the World Economic Forum and participates in China's Taihe Civilization Forum. He is a member of the academy that judges the Varkey Foundation's Global Teacher Prize and serves on the advisory board of the Symi Symposium. Shapiro delivers keynote addresses at international conferences hosted by organizations including UNESCO's Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development and the United States Air Force Global Strike Command Women's Symposium. He has advised the United States Air Force on pedagogical practices for 21st-century education and created Thomas Edison State University's online course, "Critical Thinking with Video Games." Through his books, teaching, and global speaking engagements, Shapiro provides insights on how families and societies can navigate the digital age with intention.
