Summary
Christopher Moffett is an interdisciplinary scholar and educator who blends philosophy of education, aesthetics, and somatic practice across academic and creative contexts. As a Research Scholar at Teachers College’s Digital Futures Institute and long‑time instructor of graduate courses in philosophy, cultural studies, and somaesthetics, he designs curricula that bridge theory, technology, and embodied experience. He founded Poised Meditation to apply Feldenkrais principles to effortless, pain‑free meditation and co‑founded ARE to pursue collaborative arts practice, reflecting a practice‑based approach to scholarship. With a PhD from Teachers College and over a decade of teaching and program leadership in university art and design settings, he brings both rigorous theoretical grounding and hands‑on methods for learning. Notably, his work foregrounds how aesthetic and somatic inquiry can reshape digital education and everyday attention.
