Nima Dahir

I’m Nima, a Provost’s Fellow & Assistant Professor of Sociology at the Ohio State University. I’m also affiliated with the Institute for Population Research and the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity.

I study how race and immigrant status relate to the neighborhoods people live in and their everyday lives. My current work focuses on Black immigrants and Black refugees. I ask where they live, how they reshape neighborhoods, and how these places shape them, with the goal of offering new insights into what it means to be Black in American cities today.

I hold a PhD in sociology from Stanford University and dual bachelor’s in mathematics and economics from Ohio State.
