Social Demography Seminar with Janet Xu

Janet Xu, PhD, postdoctoral fellow, Inequality in America Initiative, Harvard University, will present (in person) “Prize or penalty? Reputational effects of diversity scholarships in the labor market.”

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.
