Recent Research by Gerontology Professor Morgan
Meet Professor Jennifer Craft Morgan, who joined the GSU Gerontology Institute in 2012.
According to her departmental profile, Dr. Morgan’s “research focuses on jobs and careers, attempting to understand how policy, population, workplace and individual level factors shape how work is experienced and how work is organized” and she “uses a life course perspective” in her research, “paying particular attention to issues of social stratification related to aging and gender.” As well, she has been involved in several grant-funded research projects.
