HSOC Alum Nathan Moon (Ph.D.- HSTS, 2009) received a three-year, $600,000 grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) to conduct research on contingent employment of people with disabilities.

The project is intended to provide empirical evidence about the participation of people with disabilities who may be contractors, freelancers, day laborers, and agency temps, as well as within the so-called gig economy. More information on the project can be found here.

Nathan has also been promoted to Senior Research Scientist and has been given the title Director of Research.
