Neda Maghbouleh
Associate Professor of Sociology +
Canada Research Chair in Migration, Race, and Identity
University of Toronto
As a sociologist and Canada Research Chair in Migration, Race, and Identity, I study the racialization of Iranian, Syrian and other MENA newcomers in the U.S. and Canada. My co-authors, research trainees and I use a range of qualitative and quantitative methods to discover the shifting, relational status of this population. We do so in order to better understand how migration, borders, war, sanctions, and surveillance influence racial identity.
In July 2020, I was tenured and promoted to Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto Mississauga and continue my appointment as graduate faculty at the University of Toronto St. George. I am now also (non-budgetary) cross appointed to the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy and sit on the editorial boards of American Behavioral Scientist and Contemporary Sociology.
In 2018, I won the Province of Ontario's Early Researcher Award and secured a major SSHRC Insight Grant as Principal Investigator and lead researcher of the RISE (Refugee Integration, Stress, and Equity) Team, based at the University of Toronto. In 2017, I published my first book, The Limits of Whiteness: Iranian Americans and the Everyday Politics of Race (Stanford University Press).
I am passionate about the issue of refugee and immigrant wellbeing and I live in Toronto with my spouse, Clayton Childress (also a sociologist!), and our six year-old daughter. On August 1, 2021, I will begin a yearlong residential fellowship at the Peter Wall Institute of Advanced Study at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
