Biography

Education

[edit]

In 1987, he earned a bachelor's degree in art and a minor in English from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota. During his undergraduate studies, Moore spent a semester as an exchange student at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, which encouraged his interest in international affairs.

In 1991, he earned a master's degree in government and foreign affairs from the University of Virginia with a thesis on the thought of Reinhold Niebuhr.

After spending two years in China teaching international trade and then another year studying Chinese full time, Moore pursued a PhD in international studies at the University of Denver. During his doctoral studies, Moore focused on China and East Asia and became the assistant director of the university's Center for China-U.S. Cooperation. In 2004, he earned his doctorate with a doctorate on China-U.S. relations under the supervision of Chinese political scientist Suisheng Zhao and theorists Jack Donnelly and Paul Viotti. He studied Chinese for a year and a half in China during his doctoral studies before graduating with his PhD.
