Career
Moore is a social theorist and feminist anthropologist. Her work has developed a distinctive approach to the comparative analysis of gender and sexuality, and to the intersections between culture and globalisation. Recent research has focused on virtual worlds, new technologies, online identities and the relationship between self-imagining and globalisation. Moore has held numerous Visiting Appointments in the United States, Germany, Norway, and South Africa, among other places.
In 2008, following the retirement of Dame Marilyn Strathern, Moore took up the William Wyse Chair of Social Anthropology at Cambridge University. In 2009 Moore was made a Professorial fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge.
