Moen was elected twice to chair of the Religion and Politics Division of the American Political Science Association. Moen's other research streams included Congress, the presidency, federalism, state legislative term limits, and best interdisciplinary practices in the academy. Moen's current work focuses heavily on the nexus of liberal education, civility, and American democracy.
