Wayne D. Moore

Wayne D. Moore serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science within Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University's College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences. Based in Blacksburg, Virginia, he maintains an active faculty position with direct contact via wmoore@vt.edu and office location at 505 Major Williams Hall.

His research specializes in American constitutional evolution, with primary focus on three interconnected domains: constitutional development during the nation's founding period, transformative constitutional changes during the Reconstruction era (particularly critical analysis of the Fourteenth Amendment's initial authority), and theoretical examinations of constitutional authority and change mechanisms. This work positions him at the intersection of historical political analysis and contemporary constitutional interpretation within U.S. governance studies.
