Scott W. Campbell is Professor in the Department of Communication and Media and Constance F. and Arnold C. Pohs Professor of Telecommunication at the University of Michigan. Scott studies the social implications of mobile and social media, while using communication theory to bridge sociological and psychological perspectives on the dynamics between self and society. His work examines how everyday life experiences are shaped by new forms of interaction and layers of expectations associated with “connected mobility,” or the possibility for being socially connected between and beyond places of destination. Scott’s recent work investigates the importance of media mindfulness in navigating the emerging digital media landscape, with implications for privacy, misinformation, and engagement in public life. Before joining Michigan, Professor Campbell was Assistant Professor of Communication at Hawaii Pacific University (2002-2005) and before that earned a Ph.D. in Communication Studies at the University of Kansas (2002). Throughout the 1990s, Scott worked in information and communication technology industries, particularly with Spring PCS (developing new mobile communication networks and services) and for IBM (consulting projects in their personal laptop computer business). Scott also studied Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Nebraska and still identifies as a “Cornhusker.”
