Michelle Moran-Taylor
Michelle Moran-Taylor is an anthropologist with more than 15 years of experience in international migration processes, patterns and impacts, immigrant/refugee adaptation, ethnicity and gender in the contexts of the United States, U.S.-Mexico border, and Latin America. She holds a Master's degree from Louisiana State University and a Ph.D. from Arizona State University. She is a past Fulbright-Hays scholar and her research has been supported by fellowships from the Social Science Research Council, Wenner-Gren and the American Association of University Women (AAUW).
Michelle grew up in a place that endured nearly 40 years of brutal civil war and a place that has shifted to a remittance-based economy (whereby humans are becoming the primary export commodity). She grew up in Guatemala and her native language is Spanish, but has studied German, French, Portuguese and Hebrew. Prior to graduate school, she lived in a kibbutz in Israel, worked in Europe, and traveled extensively throughout the Middle East, Europe, southern Africa, and Latin America. Michelle takes any opportunity to promote multi-culturalism in her classes and in conversation. She has taught graduate and undergraduate courses at Louisiana State University and the University of Denver. Her research has been published in Geoforum, International Migration, Latin American Perspectives, Human Organization, and Estudios Fronterizos. She is currently completing a book that compares the effects of international migration on Maya and non-Maya communities in Guatemala.
