Harvard Pop Center Social Demography Seminar: “Concentrated poverty, ambient air pollution, and child cognitive development”

Geoffrey Wodtke, PhD, associate professor, department of sociology, University of Chicago, will present (via Zoom) “Concentrated poverty, ambient air pollution, and child cognitive development.”

The Social Demography Seminar (SDS) series at the Center for Population and Development Studies provides a lively forum for scholars from across the university to discuss in-progress social scientific and population research. Social demography includes work that uses demographic methods to describe and explain the distribution of social goods across populations. The series offers presentations on a wide variety of topics such as family, gender, race/ethnicity, population health—including mortality, morbidity, and functional health—inequality, immigration, fertility, and the institutional arrangements that shape and respond to population processes.
