In 2009 Moore began work as an associate professor of media arts and conflict transformation at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, VA. There, she collaborated with students to create To Wisconsin with Love: a film about Ojibwe resistance and envisioning in response to what would have been the world's largest open-pit taconite mine.  In 2016 Moore created From Wisconsin with Love – a sequel to that film that focuses on the spiritual, economic, physical, and legal aspects of the act of harvest from the perspective of Ojibwe prophecy.  Moore recently completed Onkwawenna Kentsyohkwa - a two-year Kanien'keha (Mohawk) adult language immersion program at Six Nations and is an ACTFL intermediate high speaker.  She is a PhD candidate (ABD) in Continental and Haudenosaunee philosophy at York University, Environmental and Urban Change Department.
