Research Interest Statement:
Goldberg's primary research interest is the historical sociology of citizenship, broadly understood to include the development of citizenship rights and duties over time, changing levels and forms of civic engagement and political participation, and shifting patterns of civil inclusion and exclusion. His book Citizens and Paupers: Relief, Rights, and Race, from the Freedmen's Bureau to Workfare (University of Chicago Press, 2008), investigated struggles over the citizenship rights of welfare state claimants in U.S. history. More recently, his research has begun to explore the significance of Jewish emancipation and its repercussions in Europe as a paradigmatic case for understanding processes of civil inclusion and exclusion more generally.
