Bibliographic information
Biographical profile | David L. Moguel is a professor of secondary education, specializing in history and social studies education, at the Michael D. Eisner College of Education, California State University Northridge. He was born in South Central Los Angeles to Mexican immigrant parents, attended elementary school in East LA, and middle and high school in LA’s San Fernando Valley. He holds degrees from Stanford University, the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and the University of California at Los Angeles. In 1987-88 he served as a John Gardner Public Service Fellow with urban school superintendent Ramon C. Cortines in San Francisco. He went on to serve as a Presidential Management Intern for the US Department of Education in Washington, DC. His current work is in teacher preparation and education, supervising history and social studies student teachers in the field, administering credential programs and coordinating student teaching experiences. He is the co-author, along with veteran history teacher Ron Sima, of a 2011 guidebook on teaching of history and social studies, entitled Teach Me, I Dare You: Taking Up the Challenge of Teaching Social Studies. His current research is in the influence of religion and race on government and economics in the colonial era of the US and Mexico. In particular, his research seeks to understand how this country might better understand Hispanic/Latino families by considering religious and cultural perspectives, supplementing typical indicators such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, immigrant status, and language background. Moguel’s wife Alicia is a library administrator for the Los Angeles Public Library, and their children John and Nicole attend Marshall High School in Los Angeles. |
