Bio
Dana Huyser de Bernardo is a graduate student whose areas of study include work and occupations, public health, political sociology, and the sociology of religion. As one part of Dana's graduate work, she investigated comparisons between public and private sector work experiences based on an exploration of work hours and schedules among emergency medical technicians. This research was part of a broader multi-method time negotiation study utilizing survey data and intensive interviews with individuals in four different medical occupations. She is currently working on her dissertation, a study of recent Christian college graduates' political attitudes and religious beliefs.
