Bio
Professor Shandra’s current research focuses on two lines of inquiry: (1) gender and sex segregation
in work and occupations, and (2) disabilities and inequalities in the transition to adulthood and health
behaviors. Her work on the relationship between women’s participation in gender-typed occupations
and household labor recently received the Sociologists for Women in Society’s Cheryl Allyn Miller Award
for scholarship on women and work. She is on research leave for the 2012-2013 academic year as a
National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow to examine the relationship
between participation in school-to-work programs and employment outcomes in the contemporary
recession.
