Dominique J. Moore acquires in American ethnic studies; Black studies; and women, gender, and sexuality studies at the University of Illinois Press. She appreciates projects that use interdisciplinary methods to discuss marginalized groups and their material lives and is particularly interested in scholars that grapple with identity, shared experiences, and daring to exist in the world. One question Dominique likes to see authors tackle: How do marginalized people assert themselves and establish communities in ways that defy time and space?
