Summary
Jeffrey Moro is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Digital Humanities and Digital Studies at the University of Maryland who blends humanities scholarship with hands-on creative making to study how media technologies shape cultural and environmental knowledge. With a PhD in English and a background in theater, he designs programs and experimental research that connect media arts, environmental media studies, and Black intellectual traditions through his work with MITH and the AADHum initiative. His research spans academic and popular writing on topics from weather prediction and air conditioning to NLP and science fiction, and he is currently writing CLOUD STUDIES on how scientists and artists use media to understand and influence the atmosphere. Known for an intensely practice-based methodology—ranging from code and circuitry to craftmaking—he brings maker sensibilities to digital scholarship. Based in Washington, D.C., he has 11 years of experience building interdisciplinary collaborations across the nonprofit, arts, and education sectors. A less obvious strength is his theater-trained ability to stage public-facing events and spaces that make complex technological ideas tangible and memorable.
