Melissa Moreno, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
My passion is teaching and researching in the areas of Ethnic Studies, Multicultural Education, and Chicano/Latino Studies. Currently, I lead Ethnic Studies at Woodland Community College (WCC) and teach Chicana/o Studies, History of Race and Ethnicity, Mexican American History, and Native American Studies courses. I am a former community educator and faculty in Chicana/o Studies, Education, and Liberal Studies. I earned a bachelor in Sociology and Women's Studies from the University of California (UC), Santa Cruz, and then I earned a masters and doctorate from the University of Utah in the Department of Education, Culture and Society. I recieved fellowships from the Chicana Latina Reserch Center at UC Davis, the Department of International and Multicultural Education at University of San Francisco, and at Texas State University San Marcos. My publications have addressed issues surrounding citizenship identity, racial formation, alternative knowledge, cultural studies, and practices of young adult community-based leadership. I am a member of the National Association of Chicana Chicano Studies (NACCS), Mujeres Activas en Letra y Cambio Social (MALCS), and the American Educational Studies Association (AESA), among others. I also serve on a number of organizations and committees. I am a co-advisor to student government (i.e., ASWCC). I also Chair the Diversity Committee at Woodland Community College. I volunteer with the Woodland Coalition for Youth (WC4Y), and I am a Board Member of the Mestizo Institute of Culture and Arts (MESTIZO).
