Keith Goldstein
Hi Everybody,
I am a sociologist and anthropologist who specializes in studies of youth migration, and dabbles in numerous other topics. My doctoral research was on the culture and identity of high school students, and my post-doctoral research focuses on early childhood educational interventions.
Currently, I am completing a post-doctoral degree in the school of education at the Hebrew University. Most of my research projects are completed through the NCJW Research Institute for Innovation in Education.
The following website outlines my academic work.
Author copies of the papers have been uploaded to this site when permissible.
