Jacqueline M. Moore, PhD, is professor of history at Austin College in Sherman, Texas, where she has taught modern American and Asian history for the past 19 years. Her special interests lie in African American history and the history of the Silk Road. She is co-editor and founder of Rowman and Littlefield's African American History Series and the author of several books including Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois and the Struggle for Racial Uplift and Cow Boys and Cattle Men: Class and Masculinities on the Texas Frontier, 1865-1900, which won the 2010 T. R. Fehrenbach Award for the Best Book in Texas History. She has lectured on her research internationally, including universities in Europe and countries as far flung as Indonesia and New Zealand.

She has won multiple awards for her teaching, scholarship and service, and in 2005 was her college's nominee for CASE Professor of the Year. In the 2010-2011 academic year she earned a prestigious Fulbright Fellowship to teach American history at Hong Kong Baptist University. There she became part of a team of Fulbright scholars helping prepare all Hong Kong universities and community colleges to incorporate general education into their curriculum as part of a major government education reform effort. She has led workshops on engaged pedagogy in China, Hong Kong, Macau, Mongolia and of course the US.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
