Harvard Pop Center Social Demography Seminar with Rourke O’Brien: “Fiscal structures and economic mobility in the U.S.”

Rourke O’Brien, PhD, assistant professor of sociology, Yale University, and former Harvard RWJF Health & Society Scholar, will present in person “Fiscal structures and economic mobility in the U.S.” Join us at the Pop Center OR register to attend via Zoom.

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.
