We are delighted to welcome Dr. Lucas Drouhot as an Assistant Professor of Sociology and a new member of our social science community and faculty affiliate of the CASER.

Dr. Drouhot joins us from Utrecht University in the Netherlands, where he served as Assistant Professor of Sociology. He has also been a Visiting Scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity in Göttingen, Germany. He was recently a Consulting Editor at the American Journal of Sociology (2023-2025 term).

His research examines international migration and immigrant integration, social stratification, ethnoracial and religious diversity, and social networks, with a particular empirical focus on the social trajectories of the descendants of immigrants in contemporary migration societies. Through a variety of quantitative and computational methods, his work investigates the structural, relational, and cultural dimensions of immigrant adaptation and their intersections.

Dr. Drouhot’s scholarship has appeared in leading journals including American Journal of Sociology, Annual Review of Sociology, Demography, Sociological Science, International Migration Review, and Social Networks. His recent publications address topics such as assimilation theories in the 21st century, intergenerational mobility among the second generation in Western Europe, and patterns of integration among the emerging third generation.

Dr. Drouhot will teach Introduction to Sociology (SOCS-SHU 110) at NYU Shanghai in Fall 2025

We are excited to have Lucas join CASER and look forward to the innovative perspectives and collaborative research he will bring to our community. You can learn more about his work at www.lucasdrouhot.com.
