Holly Lewis is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Center for Virtual Expression (CVeX) at SIU Carbondale. She leads interdisciplinary initiatives on artificial intelligence, virtual reality, phenomenology, and embodiment. Her teaching and mentoring focus on the intersections of technology and experience, as well as the economic implications and social origins of technologies.
