Who is he? A professor and researcher at Monash University, Selwyn has dedicated his career to questioning the role of technology in education. Known for his sharp critiques, he’s a leading voice in understanding not just what EdTech can do, but what it should do.
What to know? Selwyn’s books, Education and Technology: Key Issues and Debates and Distrusting Educational Technology: Critical Questions for Changing Times, challenge us to think about technology beyond the hype. His critical questions push us to consider the social and ethical implications of tech in schools, universities, and beyond—questions that remain as relevant today as ever.
And there’s more! In May 2025, Selwyn is set to release a new book, Digital Degrowth: Radically Rethinking Our Digital Futures. This bold work explores the idea of “digital degrowth,” a concept that reimagines our relationship with digital tech and calls for a more sustainable, people-centered approach to digital transformation.
Why follow? Neil Selwyn’s work goes beyond the tech trends, challenging us to look critically at the future of EdTech and the ethical responsibilities we carry.
