Shannon Moore taught social studies and English in the public-school system in Vancouver for nineteen years before joining the faculty at The University of Manitoba. Shannon is currently an assistant professor of social studies education in the Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning in The Faculty of Education. Shannon completed her PhD in 2014 at the University of British Columbia. She had the opportunity to teach many classes in the Faculty of Education at UBC, as both a sessional instructor and adjunct professor. Shannon also worked with the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation as a member of the Committee for Action on Social Justice, where she produced teaching materials connected to Peace and Global Education. Through her research she has explored: student responses to social justice pedagogy; media education and media literacies in the social studies context; and the use of digital video production in pedagogy and research.

She is currently working on two research projects. In partnership with Dr. Oliveira Jayme, Dr. Black, and the MTS, the first project explores teachers’ experiences transitioning to remote online platforms through the pandemic. The second involves interviews with elite level hockey players about: their understandings of hypermasculinity; the relationship between hypermasculinity and hockey culture; their experiences resisting hypermasculinity within hockey culture. Shannon Moore also writes about the impact of neoliberal discourses and policies on public schools/schooling.
