Social Demography Seminar with Richard Layte

Richard Layte, DPhil Oxon, professor of sociology, Trinity College Dublin, will present (in person) “Social connection in childhood and adolescence, social position and interpersonal trust: A preliminary theory and analysis.”

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.
