Kia ora, I’m Stephen Garner and this is my personal website. I’m based in T?maki Makaurau Auckland in Aotearoa New Zealand, though I consider the Wellington region my home ground. Vocationally I’ve been many things over the years, including computer scientist, software developer, database administrator, eLearning consultant, Christian theologian, and academic manager. I currently occupy myself with:
- Digital theology: research and scholarship at the interface of faith, digital technology, media and ethics.
- Consulting: working with organisations to engage constructively with things like artificial intelligence, research, and higher education. I do that through thirdSpaces Consulting.
- Postgraduate supervision: masters and doctoral thesis supervision in the areas of digital theology, public theology, and contextual theology.
- Speaking: Lecturing, speaking, and presenting in a variety of contexts.
- Photography: amateur photography with a particular interest in street and documentary photography.
- Cooking: I find cooking relaxing and like to experiment. I don’t do baking, though.
- Service: I also serve in various capacities around the place, including the Aotearoa Community Resilience Network (ACoRN) and as a Senior Research Fellow at Laidlaw College.
