    Biography

    Lance E. Mason teaches courses in social studies and social foundations of education. He received his Ph.D. from Penn State in 2013. His scholarship employs pragmatism, semiotics, cultural studies, and media ecology to explore changing social dynamics and their intersections with media literacy and democratic education. His publications have appeared in prominent national journals including Curriculum Inquiry, Theory and Research in Social Education, The Social Studies, Social Education, Social Studies Research and Practice, Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education, Democracy and Education, and Education and Culture: The Journal of the John Dewey Society. His work is informed by five years prior experience as a high school teacher in Detroit Public Schools.
