Who We Are - Director
Dr. Gustavo Moura
My work is rooted in collaboration, inclusivity, and a commitment to strengthening relationships between the university and the communities we serve.
As a researcher and educator, I focus on how schools and educational systems can become more welcoming, inclusive, and responsive to diversity. My projects have explored 2SLGBTQ+ inclusion in classrooms and communities; the recognition of newcomer identities in school; and the development of relational, intersectional research methodologies to support rural, remote, and Indigenous communities. I also work internationally on initiatives that connect lifelong learners across borders through telecollaboration and transcultural approaches to multilingual education.
At BU CARES, I am passionate about building bridges between academic research and community priorities. I believe that knowledge grows strongest when it is shared, co-created, and grounded in the lived experiences of the people it serves. My goal is to support research and programming that bring voices together, honour relationships, and create opportunities for meaningful change in education and society.
I look forward to working with students, educators, community members, and partners as we continue to imagine and create more inclusive futures together.
