Tod G. Hamilton is a Professor of Sociology and a Faculty Associate at the Office of Population Research at Princeton University. His research focuses on the patterns of migration and social inequality, shaping population health, social mobility, and demographic change, while connecting historical and contemporary processes to broader questions of population dynamics and social stratification. His work has been published in leading journals such as Demography, the Annual Review of Sociology, the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Social Science & Medicine, Demographic Research, and the American Journal of Epidemiology. Hamilton is the author of 'Immigration Remaking Black America,' which documents how immigration has transformed the composition and experiences of the U.S. Black population since the 1960s. The book provides a comprehensive methodological and theoretical approach to understanding the integration of Black immigrants in the United States from the early twentieth century to the early twenty-first century, offering a new lens for examining mechanisms that drive changes in racial disparities in health, education, and labor markets. His work on 'Immigration Remaking Black America' was recognized with the 2020 Otis Dudley Duncan Award for Outstanding Scholarship in Social Demography from the American Sociological Association, along with an Honorable Mention for the 2020 Thomas Znaniecki Award from the ASA’s International Migration Section.
