Research
Moore's research agenda is divided into four strands:
- Studying how educational professionals, such as school counselors, influence the educational and career aspirations and school experiences of students of color (particularly African American males)
- Exploring socio-cultural, familial, school, and community factors that support, enhance and impede academic outcomes for K-12 African American students
- Examining recruitment and retention issues of students of color in gifted education and college students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
- Exploring social, emotional, and psychological consequences of racial oppression of African American males and other people of color in education, counseling, workplace, and athletics.
