Faculty Spotlight


deborah padgett

Dr. Deborah Padgett

NYU Silver School of Social Work


Courses taught:

  • GPH-GU 2140 Global Issues in Social and Behavioral health
  • GPH-GU 2160 Qualitative and Field Methods

Background:

  • Ph.D in anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
  • Post-doctoral training in public health and psychiatric epidemiology at Columbia University and Duke University
  • Nationally known for advocacy and practice of qualitative and mixed methods in research 
  • Editor of The Handbook of Ethnicity, Aging, and Mental Health and The Qualitative Research Experience, author of Qualitative Methods in Social Work Research, and co-author of Program Evaluation

Teaching philosophy:

"Teaching students from such different professional and national backgrounds has been a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge comes from engaging with many different backgrounds and experiences, all the while attempting to keep us operating within the same intellectual space. Students coming from all over the world also bring cultural and social ‘selves’ to classroom discussions that are enriching and enlivening. As an instructor, I cannot imagine a more rewarding classroom experience."
