Goleen Samari is a public health demographer and an associate professor at the University of Southern California. Dr. Samari’s research focuses on several dimensions of social inequalities and health. Taking a health justice approach, she considers how discrimination, gender inequities, and migration shape population health both domestically and globally with a particular focus on communities in or from the Middle East and North Africa. She examines a range of issues related to immigrant health, refugee health, religious minority health, birthing people’s health, fertility, and sexual and reproductive health and rights. She contributed to the field of racism and health by conceptualizing Islamophobia and racialization of religious minorities as a public health issue. Her recent work includes extending measures of structural racism and sociopolitical environments to include immigrants and/or religious minorities, like her recent measure of structural xenophobia based on state-level immigration policy (the Immigration Policy Climate Index). She has received several honors for her early career contributions to research on health equity.
