Harvard Pop Center Social Demography Seminar: “Empty chairs at the dinner table: Black-White disparities in exposure to household member deaths”

Angela Dixon, PhD, assistant professor of sociology, Emory University, and former Harvard Bell Fellow, HCPDS, will present “Empty chairs at the dinner table: Black-White disparities in exposure to household member deaths.”

The Hybrid 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 hybrid 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.
