JASMIN ABDEL GHANY

I am a social researcher working on environmental inequalities and fertility. I am a Nuffield Postdoctoral Prize Reserach Fellow in Sociology (at Nuffield College, University of Oxford) and an Associate Member of the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science. 

My research is concerned with early life exposures and the question of how the natural environment shapes health inequalities and social stratification. My existing work focuses on the impact of prenatal temperature exposure on fertility, reproductive health, and infant wellbeing outcomes. I am particularly interested in understanding the mechanisms that underlie climate-population relationships, their role in producing social stratification, and in the question of how we can best measure and model environmental exposures across a range of diverse societies and geographic settings. 

I was a PhD student at Oxford's Nuffield Department of Population Health and am an alumna of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research's IMPRS-PHDS Research School.
