Shapiro received his A.B. from Columbia University in Physics,
Religion and Creative Writing. Since joining the Committee on
Conceptual and Historical Studies at the University of Chicago,
his interests have spread to more areas of inquiry, including
media theory.  He is currently considering research on the
historical development of the concept of "information" in the
sciences and its consequences in science, philosophy, and media

"Science" and "Religion," ethics and human rights, philoosphy of

directed, and acted in a number of plays and has had a few of
his short stories published. His time is largely consumed with
his current roles as a teaching
