KEYNOTE WORKSHOP LEADER
David Thornton Moore

David Thornton Moore has been a researcher and practitioner in the field of experiential learning since 1972, when as a teacher in an alternative high school he began supervising internship students. After earning a doctorate in Learning Environments from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 1977, he began a long series of ethnographic studies of high-school and college interns in which he developed a detailed framework for understanding the pedagogy of experience: the social organization of learning processes in workplace settings. His work on those studies has been published in such places as the Harvard Educational Review, Anthropology and Education Quarterly, and The Journal of Workplace Learning; with Thomas Bailey and Katherine Hughes of Columbia University, he co-authored Working Knowledge: Work-based learning and education reform (RoutledgeFalmer, 2004). More recently, he has been studying teaching from experience: the ways in which school-based educators help internship and service-learning students process and reflect on their field-based experiences. Since 1982, Moore has been on the faculty of the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University, where is he presently the Associate Dean.
