Dr. Jesse Moland Jr. is a researcher, writer, and educator with over 20 years of leadership experience in diverse areas including K-12 schools, educational technology, and logistics.

His research is centered around the digital divide and educational inequity, but also includes studies in leadership and organizational culture. The role of leaders as catalysts of change cannot be underestimated and must be considered when attempting to address any inequity or issue from the organizational level.

Though versed in quantitative and qualitative methodologies, Dr. Moland leans toward qualitative research, particularly hermeneutic phenomenology. This preferred methodology uncovers the underlying meanings of issues and elevates the voices and experiences of those affected.
