Work in Progress Luncheons

The Harvard Pop Center and the Program on the Global Demography of Aging are pleased to sponsor a "Work in Progress" lunch series focusing on salient issues in population health, demography, and economics. Formerly known as the "Population Economics Group" luncheons, these informal gatherings serve as opportunities for researchers to garner important feedback from others working in similar areas.

Sessions are scheduled on Thursdays from 12:30 - 1:30 at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies, 9 Bow Street, Cambridge. The presenter is expected to lecture on their work for 20-30 minutes with the remaining time left for audience response. Lunch will be provided.

All faculty and students are invited to attend.
