Social Demography Seminar with Elizabeth Fussell

Elizabeth Fussell, PhD, professor of population studies and environment & society, Brown University, will present (in person) “Migration as adaptation to the environment?: Evidence from US internal migration.”

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.
