My name is Anto Ficatier. I describe myself as a youth specialist and researcher, which means that I am passionate about youth culture and love doing research! I am originally from France and lived in the US, Hong Kong, and now England. My wife, Jess, and enjoy life in leafy Surrey; where I coach, train, and empower the next generation of Christian leaders in a local Church of England. I also speak Chinese, and founded a training center in Paris to teach Chinese!
On the academic side, I am a part-time Ph.D. researcher at the University of Birmingham. My field is at the intersection of technology and theology. I look at the concept of network from a metaphysical point of view, and analyzes how digital technologies impact Christian theology.
I have been nominated as one of the ten Cumberland Lodge Fellows for the years 2020-2022. I am also adjunct at the Institut Protestant de Théologie (Paris) where I teach a class on contemporary theology.
