Biography

Dr. Diane Sabenacio Nititham is a cultural sociologist who focuses on the dynamics of  diaspora, transnational social practices, and notions of home and belonging. She is interested in how these dynamics manifest for people amongst asymmetrical power relations, social policies, and community coalition building.  Her book (Routledge, 2016), highlights the intersections of global labor migration and everyday practices for Filipina migrants in Ireland. Her co-edited book (2013) uses a interdisciplinary and transhistorical framework to examine the cultural, material, and symbolic articulations of Irish migration relationships from the medieval period through to the contemporary post-Celtic Tiger era. She has also worked on several comparative projects, including a 16-person interdisciplinary team that examined the integration of Nigerian, Lithuanian, Indian and Chinese communities in Ireland. 

Dr. Nititham received her PhD in Sociology from University College Dublin, Ireland. She received a MA with distinction in Social and Cultural Foundations in Education and BA in Communication from DePaul University. In 2017, she received the MSU Emerging Scholar Award and in 2021, the Board of Regents Teaching Excellence Award. She teaches a range of topics including popular culture, social inequality, migration, and education. She also offers courses in Dublin for Murray State鈥檚 Education Abroad programs.
