Naomi Nubin-Sellers, PhD

Welcome! Naomi Nubin-Sellers is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Dartmouth College in the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy.  Her research interests focus on how state political and social institutions impact welfare policy outcomes across the U.S. In her dissertation research, she specifically addressed how state politics shape policy experiences through welfare policy by developing a novel framework of citizen state interaction. This research examined the role of government responsibility in promoting equity within the complex social context of the U.S. Additionally, this research has been awarded numerous awards, including the Sammy Younge Best Graduate Student Paper Award (2021 and 2025) and the Jo Ann Gibson Robinson award from the Association for the Study of Black Women in Politics (2024). I look forward to connecting with you!
