Professor Moses' research focuses on the broad question of what are the origins of social inequality in complex societies through comparative ethnographic and survey methods. She has explored gender and class disparities in Caribbean and East Africa. More recently her research has focused on issues of diversity and change in universities and colleges in the United States, India, and South Africa. She is currently involved with a national public education project funded by NSF and the Ford Foundation on the meaning of race in every day life.
