About John W. Moravec
John Moravec is an educational change agent and faculty member in the Innovation Studies and Master of Liberal Studies graduate programs at the University of Minnesota. He is the principal of Education Futures LLC; the co-founder of the Horizon Forum, a roundtable on the future of education at all levels; and is the editor of Education Futures (ISSN 1940-0934, http://www.educationfutures.com).
Dr. Moravec is concerned about human capital development as society approaches an increasingly complex and ambiguous future. Technological change drives social change, and its impact is accelerating exponentially. Our schools, universities, and other institutions must leapfrog ahead of this curve for all people to compete in highly globalized, knowledge- and innovation-based societies. His work focuses on exploring this “New Paradigm” and the new approaches to leadership and human capital development required. His approach is global in scope, and he actively collaborates with colleagues in the United States, Latin America, China, and Europe.
Dr. Moravec is the author and co-author of several articles, including “A New Paradigm of knowledge production in higher education” in the On the Horizon (2008). His research and action scholarship agenda are focused on the convergence of globalization, knowledge society, and accelerating change in education; and building positive futures for “preK–21″ education.
In the past, he has served as a project manager and analyst at Wells Fargo, served a consultant to K-12 school districts, and has worked with multiple international, nongovernmental organizations. Dr. Moravec earned a PhD in comparative and international development education from the University of Minnesota, a master’s degree in international management from the University of St. Thomas, and a bachelor’s degree in international studies from American University in Washington, D.C.
