Joseph Moseley

Moseley’s innovative teaching idea, “Social Documentary as Art and Ethics,” focuses on teaching students the art of documentary photography, social media etiquette and responsibility, while encouraging them to become more socially involved in their own communities. The project will ask students to write an essay and produce a series of photographs that tell the story of a particular social issue. This assignment will be ongoing throughout the school year, giving students ample time to conduct research and interview principle people, while also forcing them to view the big picture of the issue. Moseley hopes that by facilitating involvement in community building organizations at a young age, this project will help students become well-rounded, empathetic adults.
