Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Holstein's teaching interests include deviance and social control, research methods, and statistics. He has published over three dozen books on topics including mental health and illness, family, the life course, social problems, the self, and qualitative research methods. It's his bovine surname, however, that makes him virtual royalty here in the Dairy State. Ask him to show you his herd.
