For decades, Luis C. Moll has investigated the ways Hispanic families' social networks and household environments contribute to the education and success of their children.
Considered pivotal research, the work headed by Moll and his colleagues have challenged long-existing theoretical models that have indicated that people of color are inherently disadvantaged because of their social and cultural backgrounds.
'We learn and develop through our relationships with each other – that is fundamental to the development,' said Moll, a University of Arizona professor in the language, reading and culture department."
