Sandra Enos
Sandra Enos, Ph.D., serves as an Associate Professor of Sociology at Bryant University. Prior to completing her doctorate, she enjoyed a long career in the public and nonprofit sectors, serving in positions in child welfare, corrections, the office of the Governor as a policy aide, and in the fields of nonprofit development and higher education reform.
In her academic work, Dr. Enos's research focus has been on the lives of marginalized children. Her book, Mothering on the inside: Parenting in a Women's Prison, examined the lives of incarcerated mothers and their children and proposed social policies that would better serve not only these families but enhance public safety and child welfare outcomes as well.
Dr. Enos sees herself as a public scholar, an academic whose aim is not only to do the painstaking research that is required but to share her findings with a wider audience.
