While at Dartmouth, Moore will be available to meet and work with students

reconstruction and nation-building, the relationship between security and
development, the United Nations, and U.S. foreign policy, and domestic
politics. He will be undertaking his own research and writing on the subject of
morality and foreign policy.

President Dickey's conviction that international challenges should be a
priority in Dartmouth's undergraduate education and this is a chance for me to
get reacquainted at close hand to that end."
