More about me

I’m Amy Crouch. I grew up in southeastern Pennsylvania in a family that taught me to love all things analog.

I studied linguistics at Cornell University, focusing especially on old languages and how they change. I loved getting to look at language both as a humanist and a scientist: from the Great English Vowel Shift to Middle English plays about death. Honestly, most of my time was eaten up by Ancient Greek paradigms and scanning lines of hexameter.

While at Cornell, I wrote a book with my dad (My Tech-Wise Life). We’ve been working together ever since to articulate a faithful way of life in the digital world: How do we stay human in a world of devices?

I moved south to Laity Lodge for two years, where I learned to build reliable fires and took copious notes on theology lectures.

Now, I live in Boston, where I aim to help Christians embodying faithful presence amid the shifts of modernity (both at MIT and in the global church). Somehow I get paid to gather interesting people to talk about challenging questions.

I’ll be starting a Master of Theological Studies at Harvard Divinity School this fall.

I’m largely off social media, but you can catch my short-form thoughts and photos at my micro.blog. Embrace the anarchy of the open web with me!
