Jennifer Craft Morgan is the Director of and Professor in the Gerontology Institute at Georgia State University. Her research focuses on jobs and careers of careworkers, attempting to understand how policy, population, workplace and individual level factors shape how work is experienced and how work is organized across care settings. Her current work translates research to practice through educational devices such as micro-learnings and webinars delivered to provider audiences. She is a national expert on recruitment, training and retention of direct care workers. Dr. Morgan has led several major evaluation efforts focused on sharing lessons learned, in real-time, to inform and improve model development for practice and education-based intervention work.
