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 barriers to employment among single mothers making the transition from welfare to work. She is a Principal Investigator on the Women's Employment Survey. Professor Danziger previously researched how Michigan's General Assistance welfare recipients fared after Governor Engler terminated this income support program.
