Professor Spangler's main interests lie in the intersecting areas of work
and inequality. Her current research focuses on occupational health and safety,
particularly for women workers. This is a topic in which several themes converge:
the Left's concern with the organization of production, women's stake in
controlling their lives, and the public's concern with environmental health.
In a global economy, interest in worker health and safety is inherently international
and has lead Professor Spangler to do research, to organize cross-national
exchanges and to do curriculum planning in Eastern Europe, Brazil, the Caribbean,
and South Africa. Securing safe and healthy workplaces is also requires intersectoral
collaboration, and so Professor Spangler chairs the Leadership for Change
program - a certificate program offered jointly by the Sociology Department
and the Carroll School of Management, designed to promote socially responsible
business practices. She also serves as Board member to the Human
and Civil Rights Organizations of America and maintains Visiting Scholar
ties to the Harvard School of Public Health. Earlier in her career, Professor
Spangler's interests in inequality have shaped her research on working class
college students and on salaried professionals.
