Associate Professor
University of Maryland, Baltimore
Baltimore, Maryland, United States

Nalini Negi is an associate professor at the School of Social Work in the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB). Dr. Negi’s research has emphasized the social etiology and structural mechanisms that confer risk of psychological distress and substance use among Latino im/migrant populations such as day laborers employed in the informal economy. She has been funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities among others and is one of the first to have elucidated structural and psychosocial factors associated to the mental health and drug use initiation and use of this hard-to-reach population of im/migrants. Dr. Negi has published extensively in scientific journals as well as edited two books, one on social work practice with Latinos by Lyceum Press and one on social work practice with transnational migrants by Columbia University Press. In 2012, she received the National Award for Excellence in Research by a New Investigator from the National Hispanic Science Network. She received her doctoral degree from the University of Texas, Austin in 2008 and received the top honors for her dissertation by the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR). In 2017, she was inducted into the Fellows of the SSWR in recognition of serving with distinction to advance the mission of the Society. Dr. Negi is passionate about teaching and is the recipient of multiple teaching awards including from the National Association of Social Workers Maryland Chapter.
