Holly Reed

I am a professor of sociology at Queens College, City University of New York (CUNY), faculty associate of the CUNY Institute for Demographic Research (CIDR) and faculty at the CUNY School of Public Health and the CUNY Graduate Center. My research focuses on migration, forced migration, demographic dynamics, education, and health in the U.S. and sub-Saharan Africa—including Ghana, South Africa, and Nigeria. I previously served as a program officer for the Committee on Population of the National Academies in Washington, DC, where I wrote and edited reports on various international population issues, including urbanization and development, forced migration, maternal mortality, and fertility change.  I teach Introduction to Statistics (SOC 205) and a master’s-level course in Demography (SOC 736) at Queens College, and doctoral-level courses in Demography at the CUNY Graduate Center.
