About

Dr. Jesse Moland Jr. is a researcher, educator, and author with over 20 years of leadership experience in diverse fields, including K-12 schools, technology, and logistics. He currently serves on dissertation committees and uses his experience and expertise to assist schools and organizations.

While his research is centered around the digital divide and educational inequity, Dr. Moland’s leadership experience prompted him to include leadership and organizational culture studies. The role of leaders as catalysts of change cannot be underestimated and must be considered when attempting to address any inequity, particularly when viewed from the organizational level. Years of personal experience provide anecdotal data that helps bring his presentations to life and connect his research with his audience.

It is this connection that inspired Dr. Moland to lean toward qualitative methodologies, particularly hermeneutic phenomenology. Though versed in quantitative and qualitative methodologies, his preferred methodology is known to uncover the underlying meanings of issues and elevate the voices and experiences of those affected.
