Prof. Inna Altschul's research and practice focus on promoting positive development among low-income, immigrant, and Latino/a children and youths. Her primary areas of interest are racial-ethnic identity: youth empowerment, leadership, and civic engagement; child and adolescent development within family, school, and community systems; and preventative interventions. Prof. Altschul uses ecological, sociological, and psychological perspectives in her research, as well as qualitative and quantitative methodologies. At GSSW, she teaches MSW courses in the high-risk youth track, practice evaluation and research, as well as PhD introductory statistics.
"My hope is that all young people will have the means to reach their highest potential, and contribute to their communities and society at large."
