Prof. Filiz Garip is Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton University and an ECONtribute Research Fellow cluster member since 2023. Her work bridges migration studies, economic sociology, and inequality research, investigating how social structures enable or constrain mobility and shape socioeconomic disparities through rigorous quantitative analysis.
Her research program centers on three foundational questions: Why do people migrate? How do social ties shape inequality? And how do we learn from data? Expertise spans migration dynamics, social network analysis, climate change impacts, and data science methodology, with emphasis on open science practices and reproducible research.
Dr. Garip has received exceptional recognition including:
- Otis Dudley Duncan Award (ASA Population Section)
- APSA Migration and Citizenship Section Best Book Award
- Mirra Komarovsky Award (Eastern Sociological Society)
- Koç University Rahmi M. Koç Medal of Science (2019)
She actively mentors undergraduate and graduate students in thesis research while maintaining full transparency through public sharing of code, data, human-subjects protocols, and career materials. Her influential op-ed on immigration policy appeared in the Washington Post (April 2017), demonstrating public engagement with critical societal issues.
