Jeffrey Anvari-Clark, PhD, MA, MSW
Hello! I see you. My name is Jeffrey (he/him).
As a human and a Bahá’í, I’m completely smitten with knowledge and beauty, pursuit of social justice, and accompanying others to create a world that’s good for all.
This translates into being a professor of social work, snowshoeing and skiing through the North Dakota winter, drinking dark roast coffee black, and alongside my wife, nurturing two progeny into service to humanity.
My teaching, research, and service are at the intersection between people, money, and social justice: financial social work, financial behavioral health, financial interdependence… socialization, well-being, efficacy, behavior change. (I ♥︎ Money Habitudes and YNAB!) My love language is R (for data analyses), and I’m continually exploring the implications of the March 1, 2017 letter from the Universal House of Justice.
Scroll down to see what I’ve been up to and reach out if you’re interested in joining me on this journey.
