Background

Dr. Moon joined the Garland School of Social Work in the fall of 2019, as the Carl and Martha Lindner Endowed Chair for Global Studies. Dr. Moon received his PhD in Social Work from the University of Georgia in 2002. His major research interest is in immigrant children and youth’s mental health and substance use. His interests were, in part, influenced by the emphasis of the role of socio-environmental factors in human development within the social work profession. Through his doctoral and post-doctoral research, Dr. Moon has consistently developed his interest in minority mental health and substance use.
