Harvard Pop Center Social Demography Seminar: “Socioeconomic conditions and cognitive aging in rural South Africa”

Lindsay Kobayashi, PhD, MSc, assistant professor, department of epidemiology, University of Michigan School of Public Health and former Harvard Bell Fellow (2016–2018 cohort) and Molly Rosenberg, PhD, associate professor, department of epidemiology and biostatistics, Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington and former Harvard Bell Fellow (2014–2016 cohort) will present in person “Socioeconomic conditions and cognitive aging in rural South Africa.”

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 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.
