Jordan Shapiro (born November 15, 1977) is an American author known for his work on parenting, education, gender, and technology.

[7][8] He studied phenomenology with Edward S. Casey, Rabbinic Judaism with Jacob Neusner, film & cinema with Adolfas Mekas.

[14][6] In 2021, he became core faculty in Temple University's Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies program after researching and writing a book about being a feminist dad.

[23][24] His view that kids can only learn good proper ethics for a connected world by spending more time with digital technology[25][26] has been controversial, causing Wall Street Journal journalist Naomi Schaefer Riley to complain, "the idea that parents might forbid or severely limit their children's devices—or take the devices away altogether—is anathema to him".

Cotton celebrated Shapiro's views on masculinity and feminism, inviting him to be the keynote speaker at the Air Force Global Strike Command's Women's Leadership Symposium.
