The Berkeley Formal Demography Workshop
2015 Special Emphasis Topic: Economic Demography
Monday‐Friday, August 17‐21
Faculty Presenters:
Elizabeth Bruch, U. Michigan; Gretchen Donehower, NTA Project; Joshua Goldstein, Demography; Ronald Lee, Demography; Ken Wachter, Demography; Emilio Zagheni, U Washington; and others.
Description: Join us for an educational program designed to train the next generation of population researchers in the methods in formal demography. This week‐long program at Berkeley consists of three days of hands‐on training followed by two days of research presentations by invited faculty. Following the meeting, students will take part in a mentored research project and a capstone presentation of research projects at the following Population Association of America annual meeting.
The methods and topics in this program are applicable to a variety of fields, including but not limited to demography, economics, sociology, public health, epidemiology, public policy and statistics. By design, the program seeks to build a vital community of scholars.
Eligibility: The workshop is targeted to advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, assistant professors and other early career researchers. We are particularly interested in supporting underrepresented minorities.
Financial Support: Trainees’ expenses for materials, lodging and meals will be covered. Need‐based support for travel is available.
DEADLINE: June 1, 2015 for travel support. Applications will be accepted until June 30.
