Equity, quality and commitment in education: interview with Luis C. Moll / Igualdad, calidad y compromiso en educación: entrevista a Luis C. Moll

This interview was held in 2006 and published in 2007, and is now republished in this Special Issue. Luis C. Moll, Puerto Rican by birth, was one of the most prominent researchers in Latino education in the United States. His avant-garde works on Hispanic children’s linguistic development and bilingual literacy are well known and renowned for their implications in the research on the impact of culture and education on human development. He was also one of the most notable advocates of Vygotskian theory in the Hispanic world, and his labour in this field played an important role as a meeting point between United States and Hispanic scholars. This interview examines his formation as a researcher: the intention is to provide an account of his educational and human trajectory, as well as to relate those projects he was involved in at the moment of the interview, and that could be considered the result of such a trajectory.
