The homology of moduli spaces of curves has long been studied and exhibits hidden structures of characteristic classes of families of curves. However, until very recently understanding non-tautological homology was not understood with few examples. I will explain some recent work of Chan-Galatius-Payne which allows computations of the pieces of the weight filtration on the cohomology with methods from tropical and logarithmic geometry. I will also explain some further routes of study to the homology of other moduli spaces, such as moduli spaces of stable maps.
