About Shomon Shamsuddin

I am an Associate Professor of Social Policy at Tufts. My research interests focus on housing, education, and inequality. I study housing policy and programs for low-income households, trends in housing affordability, and mixed-income housing development. I also conduct research on the barriers to educational attainment for historically disadvantaged students.
