Her field of research is at the interface between urban sociology, political sociology, and the sociology of ideas. She completed her doctoral studies in the University of Toronto’s Department of Sociology as a Connaught Scholar and is a research fellow in the "Urban Genome Project" at the School of Cities and the Institute on Municipal Finance and Governance, also at the University of Toronto. In her doctoral thesis and follow-up studies, Nega explores how complex organizations, such as cities, adopt new ideas. She deals with these questions from different angles, and examines, among other things, how ideas change over time and under the influence of the city that adopts them. How do certain ideas become relevant even in completely different urban contexts? How did a small group of charismatic experts establish their position as urban 'gurus,' and what are those gurus actually doing to connect cities and ideas? In examining these questions, Nega uses a variety of qualitative and quantitative research methods.
In addition, Nega teaches urban sociology in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology.
