Travis E. Ross

I am currently Assistant Professor of History at George Fox University. I have a PhD in history from the University of Utah. I trained in informatics as a postdoctoral fellow at Yale School of Medicine and the VA. Originally from western Montana, I live with my wife and two children in McMinnville, Oregon.

I also do hands-on work. I run workshops with nonprofits, foundations, and university teams to help people figure out what AI is actually good for in their work — and build the skills to use it.

I study moments when the old modes of creating, accessing, and making productive use of knowledge fell apart, producing periods of spontaneous, uncertain innovation and experimentation. I also work with organizations doing precisely that in our present moment of technology-driven disruption.

If any of this sounds relevant to what you’re working on, please reach out to schedule a conversation.
