Joshua Moses is Spielman Professor in the Social Sciences; Associate Professor of Anthropology and Environmental Studies; Chair of Environmental Studies at Haverford College. His community-driven research prioritizes partnerships that leverage the resources of higher education to address complex socio-environmental challenges. These include the climate crisis, inequality, and organizational response to extreme events and uncertainty. He has worked with state, local governments and federal governments and non-profits, and community organizations, and in the private sector. Through the Philadelphia Area Creative Collaboratives, a program funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, in collaboration with the North Philly Peace Park, Friends of Mt. Moriah Cemetery, East Park Revitalization Alliance, and Philadelphia artist Li Sumpter, he developed the Urban Ecology Arts Exchange.

Most recently, Joshua is putting his energy into the response of educational institutions to climate change and the ways we are preparing students for futures that society itself struggles to imagine. He is a cofounder of Education Ecologies Collective, a network of collaborators facilitating conversations on learning, pedagogy and ecological justice in the context of the climate crisis. He firmly believes that institutions of higher education can play a much greater role in ecological transitions.
