Eliza Pavalko
Eliza Pavalko came to IU in 1991 after a postdoctoral
fellowship in aging and the life course at the Carolina Population Center at
the University of North Carolina, graduate work at Florida State University
and undergraduate work at Guilford College. Eliza has published papers with
graduate students in Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Social
Forces, Journal of Marriage and the Family and Journal of
Gerontology on relationships between women's employment, unpaid work and
health over the life course. Current projects include a study investigating
social change in the work-health relationship for women with Fang Gong and
Scott Long and a study of the mental illness careers of 1950s state hospital
patients with Bernice Pescosolido and Courtenay Harding. Eliza spends her
free time gardening and walking, and whenever possible, riding her horse,
Sophie.
