Glenn Shor serves as a Continuing Lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health, teaching courses including Public Health Injury Prevention and Control. With over 30 years of prior experience as a public policy and research analyst at the California State Department of Industrial Relations (Cal/OSHA and Division of Workers' Compensation), he brings substantial practical expertise to academia. His teaching extends to California State University Hayward, San Francisco State University, and Sacramento State University, reflecting broad engagement across California's public higher education system.
Dr. Shor's educational foundation includes a PhD in Public Policy Analysis (1990) and an MPP in Public Policy (1977), both from UC Berkeley, complemented by a BA in Urban Studies from the University of Pennsylvania (1975). These qualifications underpin his interdisciplinary approach to occupational health challenges.
His research centers on occupational safety and health systems, with particular emphasis on workers' compensation frameworks and injury prevention strategies. He critically examines systemic barriers faced by vulnerable worker populations, advocates for sustainable return-to-work practices, and challenges narratives around workplace accidents through historical and policy analysis. His scholarship consistently bridges academic theory with real-world policy implementation.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a cohesive focus on occupational fatality case studies, policy evolution in workers' compensation (especially California's historical trajectory), and innovative uses of compensation data for public health surveillance. His work increasingly addresses health disparities among marginalized workers and emerging occupational hazards across diverse industries.
