About Zahra
Hello! My name is Dr. Zahra M. Moss and I am a native of Aguas Buenas, Puerto Rico. I am an avid Historian and enjoy working with material culture and artifacts in Museums. I am a twice awarded Smithsonian Fellow, and I did research over the course of six months at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. between 2009-2010. This experience was extraordinary! I try and include material culture, geography and art in most if not all my courses. Students at DCB can choose from a variety of course offerings in person or online and explore History in fun and exciting new ways. On campus I advise the local chapter of Phi Theta Kappa honor society and coordinate culturally driven education initiatives and events. If you have some free time, swing by my office, I’d love to chat.
