Research:

Dr. Nakhaie has been actively involved in the study of social class, gender and race/ethnicity as principle categories in the organization of daily social life and how these shape social rankings, access to resources and life experiences. His main focus of investigation is on the role of equity (justice and fairness) and diversity (various demographic concerns) in Canadian society, in general, and more recently, in higher education. His research interests also involve topics such as crime, delinquency, fear of crime, family violence and the role of the media in perpetuating a hegemonic conception of social reality.

His current research involves the investigation of several areas:

• Labour market integration of immigrants
• Social mobility of minority groups
• Elite challenging behaviours

Education:

• PhD (University of Waterloo - Sociology)
• MA
• BA
