Noah Morton, EdD

Dr. Noah Morton is an artist, storyteller, and writer from Harlem, New York. After earning a degree in liberal arts from Amherst College, he obtained a master’s degree in international education at the University of Cambridge before completing his doctorate in international multicultural education at the University of San Francisco.

Dr. Morton’s latest open-access books, Pencils Down: Conversations on Humanizing Education and Undissertation Notes: A Collective Unraveling, combines multiple modalities to interrogate dominant ways of thinking/knowledge production.

It was outside of school (and partially during) where Dr. Morton was introduced to Virgil Abloh, as well as decolonial theorists like bell hooks, Christina Sharpe, James Baldwin, Walter Mignolo, Toni Morrison, and Sylvia Wynter, who taught him to combine the spaces of art, craft, design, and critical theory. These theories, merged with contemporary unculture, partially make up Dr. Morton’s undisciplinary practice today.
