Simone Nicole Durham, PhD
Hi! My name is Simone Nicole Durham, PhD. I completed my doctorate in Sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park, in 2025. Previously, I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in sociology at Morgan State University, an HBCU in Baltimore, Maryland. I am now a faculty lecturer in the MSU Department of Sociology & Anthropology. My research focuses on race, identity, mental health, meaning-making, and resistance. In everything I do, including my teaching and research, my primary objective is to contribute to the fight for racial equity in the U.S., particularly for Black people.
