Adetobi Moses

Adetobi Moses explores how narratives and cultural memory intersect with political realities particularly during global crises. She also studies how the media and globalization inform transnational spaces, identities, cultures, and artistic practices.

Adetobi Moses is a doctoral candidate at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, studying the mediation of the Covid-19 crisis. Her work examines how competing multi-scalar pandemic narratives helped structure, expand, or mitigate particular understandings of disease, risk, and urban spaces during Covid-19—an acute moment of heightened global uncertainty. She is broadly interested in Critical Health Communication, Collective and Digital Memory, Disease Narratives, and Global Culture. She is a doctoral fellow at the Center for Digital Culture and Society and the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication, and she is a member of the Center for Media at Risk. She received her undergraduate degree from Princeton University in 2018 and she is a 2018-2019 recipient of a Fulbright Grant.
