JASMIN ABDEL GHANY

I am a Nuffield Postdoctoral Prize Research 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 and social stratification at birth and throughout the life-course. My existing work focuses on the impact of prenatal temperature exposure on fertility, reproductive health, and infant well-being. I aim to understand the social and biological mechanisms that underlie climate-population relationships and their role in (re-)producing social stratification. Moreover, my work explores how we can best measure and model environmental exposures across a range of diverse societies. 

During my doctoral studies, I was a student at Oxford's Nuffield Department of Population Health and the Department of Sociology and an active member of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research's IMPRS-PHDS Research School.
