Shauna Dyer

Shauna Dyer holds a PhD in sociology from the University of Michigan, where she also earned her master’s degree in sociology. Her research asks how macro-level changes in economic, legal, and social systems shape individual and family economic security, and traces their consequences for socio-economic, gender, and racial/ethnic inequalities. As a Bell Fellow, Dyer extended this line of research by investigating later life consequences of job quality on health and economic well-being. (Shauna is currently associate director of research and policy at the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment at UC Berkeley.)
