Jenai Grigg

Jenai Grigg serves as Assistant Dean of General Education and Professor of Sociology at Holy Family University within the School of Arts & Sciences and Department of Sociology, where she integrates academic leadership with sociological expertise.

Her educational foundation includes:

• BA from Rosemont College
• MA and PhD from the University of Massachusetts

Dr. Grigg's research examines critical intersections of societal structures and human vulnerability, with primary focus on General Education Curriculum and Assessment frameworks, High Conflict Divorce dynamics, Pregnancy loss and reproductive trauma impacts, and universal Loss and Grief experiences. Her work bridges theoretical sociology with practical applications in family systems and educational design, emphasizing trauma-informed approaches to institutional policy and personal crisis management. This dual focus manifests in both scholarly analysis of educational systems and clinical applications through her mediation practice.

Her recent blog publications demonstrate consistent engagement with values-driven educational innovation, analyzing BLUEprint student success initiatives, career capital development, and institutional mission integration. These works collectively reveal a scholarly trajectory centered on how values-based frameworks transform educational outcomes and institutional identity.

Complementing her academic roles, Dr. Grigg applies her sociological expertise as a Certified Divorce Mediator, directly translating research on high-conflict divorce into practical conflict resolution frameworks that serve community needs while informing her academic work.
