The John B. Moore Documentary Studies Collaborative (MDOCS) embeds documentary within Skidmore's curriculum and culture, building capacities for creative public engagement and impact. Extending from the traditional documentary mediums (film, audio, photo, exhibition, writing, archives) to the edges of nonfiction (oral history, VR/AR, performance, social practice), MDOCS creates dynamic contexts for creation and exchange, where students and scholars, activists and artists, campus and community, can join to craft the stories that will shape our past, present, and future.
