Jeanne Moseley is a Professor of Practice with Cornell University’s MPH Program in the Department of Public & Ecosystem Health, College of Veterinary Medicine. Prior to this position, Jeanne served as a Senior Lecturer in the Division of Nutritional Sciences and the Director of the undergraduate Global Health Program at Cornell University. For 16 years, she taught, developed and evaluated curriculum for the Global and Public Health Sciences major and University-wide minor in Global Health, working closely with faculty, staff and students from across the University to develop and offer experiential and engaged learning programs in global and public health. She was the lead instructor for numerous undergraduate courses and won awards recognizing her passion and commitment to community engaged learning, teaching and student leadership development. Jeanne was also responsible for the direct administration and implementation of Global Health partnerships and programs in Tanzania, India and Zambia. 

Before joining Cornell in 2006, Jeanne cultivated a diverse professional and academic portfolio in the fields global and public health, adult education, international development and engaged learning. These experiences include two years as a US Peace Corps volunteer in a rural village in The Gambia. This formative experience demonstrated the importance of community engaged practice on issues of public health and allowed her to strengthen her cross-cultural, interpersonal and communication skills. After this, she taught in a public school in Atlanta, Georgia where the majority of the students lived in subsidized housing. While teaching, she was confronted with the ways that structural poverty impacts the educational and health outcomes of children in the United States. These combined experiences motivated her to pursue a Master of Public Health at Emory University with a focus on program development, management, evaluation and qualitative research methods. As a student and post-graduate fellow, she conducted research with HIV positive women in South Africa and coordinated a food insecurity study with Sudanese refugees. 

Following this, she accepted a position with the HIV/AIDS Bureau of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. For three years, she directed and led an outcome evaluation study on Rikers Island with incarcerated adult males, while also collaborating with and supporting community-based organizations to improve their HIV prevention program monitoring and evaluation. Her professional trajectory has provided her with important opportunities to be reflexive, build relationships across difference, lead diverse teams and collaborate with colleagues and community members to address complex social inequities in the fields of global and public health both locally and globally.
