Dr. Kimberly Fox of the Department of Sociology has earned a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program award and will travel to Sweden to study at the Swedish Institute for Social Research at Stockholm University.
Dr. Fox’s research will examine the needs and experiences of aging populations living alone, such as the reliance on extended social networks, supporting physical and psychological health, and maintaining households without the assistance of others. She hopes to compare social policies, workplace conditions and social supports found in Sweden with those in the United States.
