Assistant Professor, School of Social Work

Felix Muchomba is an Assistant Professor of Social Work. He is broadly interested in examining how social policies and institutions influence the well-being of girls and women. Under this research agenda, he has examined sexual and reproductive health and other issues that are pertinent to low-income families and immigrants, domestically and internationally. His approach is to study how macro-level changes, including national and local policies, and gender discrimination within families impact the health and well-being of girls and women. He is currently conducting a study funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation examining policy levers that have the potential to reduce geographic, ethnic, and racial disparities in maternal health. Muchomba holds a PhD in social work with a concentration in social policy and a master’s degree in public health from Columbia University.
