Living Life On Call: U.S. Retail Workers and The Battle Over Time Dr. Kristen Harknett, UC Berkeley
Kristen Harknett is a Professor in the Department of Sociology at
the University of California, Berkeley and an affiliate of
Berkeley’s Population Center and Institute for Research on Labor
and Employment.
Her research focuses on the connections between social contexts –
work, family, the economy, and public policies – and the health
and wellbeing of individuals and populations. By shedding light
on these connections, her research identifies avenues for
improving population health and well-being and for reducing stark
health inequalities across class, race/ethnic, and gender
groups.
