Nimo M. Abdi's research focuses on the education and lived experiences of Somali and East African immigrant and refugee families in the United States, with particular attention to mothers' engagement with schools, race and identity in the diaspora, and colonial legacies in education. The work uses qualitative approaches to examine how immigrant communities navigate schooling, parenting, and belonging. Note that a couple of listed publications on mitochondrial biology and RNA/cancer appear to be from a different, unrelated researcher sharing the same name, mixed into this bibliographic record.
