Areas of Research & Specialization Dr. Moore teaches a variety of international classes at Pacific. His introductory class to international relations, the U.S. and the World, studies Thucydides' 2400 year old History of the Peloponnesian War as well as the daily New York Times (yes, you can sometimes get extra credit for doing the crossword puzzle). Other classes look at the Middle East, international political economy, and U.S. foreign policy and conflict. Professor Moore's other teaching areas include state and local politics and political parties. He has helped place interns with political campaigns, government officials, and businesses all over the Pacific Northwest. |

Course Information At Pacific University, all faculty teach a variety of different courses. Typically, we do not use graduate teaching assistants, which means that your classes will be taught by professors and that you will have plenty of opportunites to get to know the faculty in your discipline. Below I have listed some of the courses that I teach. We are always developing and trying out new classes, so the list may change now and then. You can use the links to the left to read descriptions of the courses listed below.
