Bio

Candace M. Moore, Ph. D., (she/her), Associate Clinical Professor in the Higher Education, Student Affairs, International Education Policy (HESI) program and Director of the Center for the Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education (CDIHE) within the Department of Counseling, Higher Education, and Special Education at the University of Maryland (UMD), College Park. She earned her Ph. D. in Counseling and Student Personnel Services from the University of Georgia, Athens, GA. Prior to joining UMD, she served as a student affairs administrator at various universities in functional areas such as residence life, campus life, student conduct, and adult education before joining the faculty at University of Georgia. While there, she was a part of in the College Student Affairs Administration program in the College of Education and served as the inaugural program coordinator and co-developer of the Student Affairs Leadership Ed. D. program.

Dr. Moore’s scholarship revolves around promoting inclusive campus environments and fostering international collaboration in higher education. Her research interests include understanding Black and LGBTQ student identities, contingent faculty development in higher education, supporting student success at historically Black colleges and universities, and exploring culturally conscious pedagogy and practice in higher education. Her international endeavors have resulted in ongoing international partnerships and study abroad efforts in West Africa. With colleagues from the University of Cape Coast in Ghana and Washington University, St. Louis, MO, Dr. Moore co-developed both a hybrid international, cross-cultural graduate course on student affairs practice and a short-term study abroad program that explores student affairs practices in higher education in Ghana. The hybrid course is co-taught with faculty at the University of Cape Coast and students work in cross-cultural teams to study student affairs practices in an international higher education context. Targeted toward graduate students and student affairs professionals and faculty, Dr. Moore’s study abroad program takes a critical look at the role of power, privilege and oppression in Ghana and centers decolonizing practices, while expanding practice beyond Western ideals of social justice education. The study abroad program was recognized with the American College Personnel Association’s Outstanding International Education Initiative Award in 2019. Dr. Moore is also the inaugural director of the College of Education’s Center for Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education, a research and consultation center providing expertise to universities across the country and worldwide on issues related to diversity, inclusion and social justice in higher education.

Throughout her career, she has presented and published her research on the local, state, regional, national and international levels. Recently, she served as a co-lead on a policy webinar, sponsored by the Association of African Universities (AAU), regarding African higher education’s response to COVID-19. She is the 2016 recipient of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrator (NASPA) Region III Outstanding Contribution to Teaching Award. Currently, she serves as consulting editor with the Journal of Educational Management—an extension of the Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (IEPA) at the University of Cape Coast in Cape Coast, Ghana.

She is thrilled to be a member of the thriving scholar-practitioner community at UMD and is committed to advancing a social justice agenda in education and practice.
