Michele S. Moses

Michele S. Moses is Associate Professor and Chair of Educational Foundations, Policy and Practice at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She specializes in philosophy and education policy studies, with particular expertise in policy issues related to race, class, and gender, such as affirmative action and other equal opportunity policies. Her work has appeared in journals such as American Educational Research Journal, Educational Researcher, Harvard Educational Review, and Journal of Social Philosophy, as well as The Chronicle of Higher Education and Inside Higher Ed.

She is examining the nature of persistent moral disagreement over affirmative action and the effects of eliminating affirmative action through the state ballot initiative process.
