Suzanne Morse Moomaw
Suzanne Morse Moomaw is an Associate Professor in the Department of Urban and Environmental Planning at the University of Virginia School of Architecture. Professor Morse Moomaw has spent the last three decades observing global communities through theoretical, design, and political lens. As major domestic and global issues become more difficult to address in meaningful ways, communities emerge as the place where community members deliberate, put theory into practice, and implement the change that will be just and resilient. She teaches classes and conducts research in Housing, Community, and Economic Development. During the summer, Professor Morse Moomaw co-teaches a course, Sustainable Europe, in Switzerland.
Her research focuses on post-industrial communities and the global economy, particularly communities that have depended on manufacturing, extraction, textiles, and agriculture as their economic mainstay. Her most recent book and the accompanying blog is Smart Communities: How Citizens and Leaders Can Build a Brighter Future (Second Edition, Jossey-Bass, 2014).
Professor Morse Moomaw serves as academic lead of the Appalachian Prosperity Project and, as director, of the Community Design Research Center. The research agenda for APP includes collaborative work by faculty, students, and community members and is directed at ways to make southwest Virginia communities, and the region generally, more globally competitive by improving quality of life and economic vitality. The Community Design Research Center is an interdisciplinary applied research organization focused on applying design research & practice to [re]shaping contemporary communities.
Finally, in the service component of my work I serve as the chair of the Kettering Foundation Board of Trustees, Immediate Past Chair, Board Member of the Piedmont Community College Board, and as the faculty representative on the Alumni Board for the School of Architecture. In 2011 and 2013.
