Harvard Pop Center Social Demography Seminar: “The distribution of infection in the early 20th century United States—and why it might still matter today”

Elizabeth Wrigley-Field, PhD, assistant professor, department of sociology, University of Minnesota, will present (remotely) “The distribution of infection in the early 20th century United States—and why it might still matter today.”

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.
