 “My wife and three boys are at the center of everything I am, and they are the inspiration for my research. Personally, I am a diehard “cheddar head” (Go Packers!), I am actively involved in my son’s Cub Scout program and I enjoy spending time outdoors – especially when mountains or beaches are involved.” | | Interests | Dr. Grzywacz is an interdisciplinary social scientist with broad research interests in understanding how social contexts of everyday life contribute to health among individuals, and how this knowledge can be used to promote population health. His research focuses primarily on the health-related implications of the work-family interface, socioeconomic and racial disparities in health, and the organization of work. | | Education | 1990 | University of Wisconsin
