Hadass Moore, PhD, MSW, is a lecturer and a researcher at the Paul Baerwald School of Social Work and Social Welfare at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her research focuses on populations experiencing homelessness, and the intersection between education and social work. In her work she examines the role of larger contextual factors in the lives of placed-at- risk children and youth, and in particular, school settings. This focus is based on her practice experience with immigrant and asylum-seeking youth, and her work in the field of mental health. Dr. Moore utilizes both quantitative and qualitative methods in order to understand the nestedness of homeless children and youth within the different systems. Her work is geared towards advancing both local and larger policies that improve the lives of placed-at- risk children and youths and towards the conceptualization and creation of applicable research in this area. Dr. Moore has published in peer-reviewed journals and has presented her work at various conferences to diverse audiences internationally as her work sits in the intersection of multiple disciplines and areas. She currently works on several research projects in the areas of homelessness and school-community relationship in Israel, the U.S. and the Netherlands.
