Sandra Danziger is Director of the Michigan Program on Poverty and Social Welfare Policy at the Ford School. Her primary research interests are the effects of public programs and policies on the well being of disadvantaged families, poverty policy and social service programs, demographic trends in child and family well-being, gender issues across the life course, program evaluation, and qualitative research methods. Her current research examines the role of welfare policy and programs in addressing barriers to work among single mothers. She is evaluating a family support program provided by Starfish Family Services and she conducted an implementation study of Michigan's Jobs, Education and Training pilot projects. She was a principal investigator on the Women's Employment Study. Professor Danziger previously researched how Michigan's General Assistance welfare recipients fared after Governor Engler terminated this income support program. |
