Michele S. Moses is associate professor in educational foundations, policy and practice within the School of Education, and is affiliated with the Education and the Public Interest Center. She specializes in philosophy, education policy studies, and ethics. She teaches courses such as Educational Policy, School and Society, and Gender Issues in Education.

Her research centers on issues of educational equality and social justice within education policies related to diversity and poverty, such as affirmative action and welfare-to-work policy. Recent articles have appeared in the American Educational Research Journal, Educational Researcher, the Journal of Social Philosophy, the Journal of Philosophy of Education, and Educational Policy.

In addition, she is the author of Embracing Race: Why We Need Race-Conscious Education Policy (Teachers College Press, 2002), winner of the American Educational Studies Association Critic's Choice Award. In an effort to gain a deeper understanding of the roots of the political debates over race-conscious policies like affirmative action that profoundly affect meaningful opportunities for higher education, she is currently examining the nature of persistent moral disagreement over controversial education policies in the United States, as well as the relationship between moral disagreement and theories of justice.

She is a National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow for 2004-2006 and is a recent recipient of the Kellogg Forum on Higher Education for the Public Good's "Rising Scholar" Award.
