Levant's research critically examines the intersection of media technologies and human experience through frameworks of critical media theory and science and technology studies. His work investigates how language constructs subjectivity within digital environments, analyzes power dynamics in social movements, and explores posthuman conditions shaped by smartphones and globalization. Courses like Posthuman Subjectivities and Smartphones and Us demonstrate his focus on contemporary technological mediation of social relations and identity formation, emphasizing critical engagement with communication systems as sites of cultural and political transformation.
