Sohrob Aslamy
Ph.D. Candidate

My research broadly explores the social and economic complexities of urban transformations, particularly in the Global South. My dissertation work draws from urban geography, political economy, and critical development studies to understand the recent and emerging dynamics of urbanization in Afghanistan's capital through the lens of the 'Kabul New City' project. Data and analyses from this study will form the basis for future research that seeks to develop an environmental history of Kabul. While pursuing my Ph.D. at Syracuse University, I have developed and delivered introductory courses on world urban geography and nature-society relations for the Department of Geography and the Environment.
