PZ Work
Moisés joined Project Zero in 2024 as a PZ Doctoral Fellow. A Harvard Graduate School of Education Ph.D. candidate with a concentration in Culture, Institutions, and Society, he is interested in the promise and potential of liberatory and humanizing education occurring within community-based educational spaces.
He is also interested in the ways that Latine communities produce (public) art that—as scholar of decolonial aesthetics, Laura Pérez, puts it—“intend[s] decolonial effects.”
Moisés’s work is informed by diverse youth work experiences both locally and transnationally, having been an English teaching assistant with the Fulbright Program in Italy and a tutor and mentor in a predominantly-Latine Chicago public high school with the AmeriCorps program, City Year.
