Daniel Moak, Associate Professor of Government at Connecticut College
Daniel Moak earned his Ph.D. in political science from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016. He is interested in American politics, race and ethnic politics, public policy, and public law. His work examines how social policy developments have shaped the incorporation of different groups, the scope of the broader social welfare state, the experience of citizenship, and the conceptualization of democracy in the United States. He is particularly interested in the ways in which race has been used in the United States to separate, segregate, and channel individuals and groups into different lanes of civic worth and opportunity.
