She served as the chair/co-chair of the Technical Committee on Gender and Work of the International Ergonomics Association for 9 years between 2009 and 2018. Grounded in principles of social and environmental justice, Dr. Habib’s research has challenged traditional approaches to occupational health research and public health practice. She has led research on environmental and work-related exposures and the health of displaced refugee and migrant populations. Her research highlights how the interaction between work variables, environment, and gender shapes health outcomes. Her publications have focused on the health and living and working conditions of marginalized populations including children and refugees. Her academic research has backed her support of the rights of workers to basic labor protections, as well as broader state recognition and support of marginalized worker populations, particularly working refugee children. Dr. Habib was awarded the Occupational Health and Safety Section’s International Award by the American Public Health Association in November 2017. And in recognition of her achievements and contributions in the field of occupational and environmental health, she was elected as a fellow of the renowned Collegium Ramazzini in 2017.
