Muna Adem

Hello there! My name is Muna Adem and I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Notre Dame. 

My research is motivated by two interconnected questions: How does immigration-driven diversity shape intergroup relations, group divisions, and social cohesion? And how do societies marked by deep racial, ethnic, and political divisions create possibilities for cooperation, solidarity, and belonging? I combine behavioral experiments, longitudinal organizational data, surveys, and qualitative methods to understand how intergroup relations evolve across different social and political contexts.

My work has been published in Social Forces,  Social Psychology Quarterly, Emerging Adulthood, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America and Royal Society Open Science. My current and ongoing project has also been supported through several grants and has received several awards.
