CURRICULUM VITAE
Stephanie NawynBIOGRAPHY
Stephanie J. Nawyn is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at Michigan State University. Her research and teaching expertise are in migration, refugees, and gender. Nawyn was a Fulbright Fellow at the Women’s Research Center at Istanbul University from 2013-14 and was affiliated faculty with the Center for Forced Migration Studies at Northwestern University from 2011-2018.
Nawyn has co-edited The Routledge International Handbook of Migration Studies (with Steven J.

Her most recent articles were published in Journal of Refugees Studies, Journal of Ethnic and Racial Studies, Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health, and Disaster and Emergency Medicine. Her current examines how humanitarian organizations are attempting to reduce COVID-19 infections in service provision to refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan.
CURRENT RESEARCH
Nawyn is leading a team of 24 people in the United States, Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan to explore how refugee humanitarian interventions are impacted by COVID-19. The project uses an interdisciplinary approach that combines engineering and public health with social science principals to analyze cross-country comparative data from Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan. Examining practices around social distancing, mask wearing, hand washing/sanitizing, and implementation of other practices designed to mitigate the risk of infection, the investigators seek to recommended best practices that will reduce infection risk and slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2 during refugee humanitarian interventions.
