SUMMARY:Ken Smith\, University of Utah
DESCRIPTION:“Biodemography of Fertility and Longevity Using the Utah Population Database” \nAbstract: There is growing awareness that fertility affects rates of aging\, adult survival prospects\, and the likelihood of reaching exceptionally old ages. Much of this work\, including our own\, has focused on women and their ages at last birth\, a proposed biodemographic marker for rates of aging. This literature has given far less attention to men\, the risk of specific causes of death\, the role of early initiation of fertility and how these forces may change over historical time. We use the Utah Population Database to examine how fertility alters adult mortality risks.  We give special attention the role of late age at last birth\, but also the role of early and late ages first birth Increasing parity is associated with worse survival for women and better for men.  This talk will also present the opportunities made possible by the Utah Population Database\, a unique resource of 11 million persons comprising genealogies\, vital and medical records\, as well as demographic and spatial data. \nMore on Prof. Smith \nAccess Seminar Recording

SUMMARY:Pablo Barberá\, University of Southern California
DESCRIPTION:“Does Online Partisan Media Affect Attitudes and Behavior?” \nAbstract: In today’s fragmented online media ecosystem\, does exposure to political news through partisan media have a measurable effect on citizens’ political attitudes and behavior? Or are these outlets merely preaching to the choir? And if such media effects exist\, are they durable and homogeneous across political groups? To answer these questions\, we conducted a pre-registered\, randomized field experiment  embedded in a nationally representative online panel survey. We incentivized participants to temporarily alter features of their information environment during the 2018 U.S. midterm election campaign. Subjects in the treatment groups were asked to change their default browser homepage to either FoxNews.com or HuffPost.com. Using web browsing data collected for our respondents\, we find that our intervention exogenously and durably altered news consumption habits. We then evaluate how our treatment affected political attitudes\, voting behavior\, and civic knowledge\, which we measure based on survey responses collected at periodic intervals after our intervention\, up to one year later. Our results generally show negligible persuasive and agenda-setting effects\, consistent with the minimal media effects hypothesis. However\, we uncover a meaningful decrease in overall media trust among those exposed to Fox News and an increase in support for liberal immigration policies among those in the Huffington Post treatment group. \nFind out more about Prof. Barberá

SUMMARY:Christian Dippel\, University of California\, Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:“The Effect of Land Allotment on Native American Households During the Assimilation Era” \nAbstract: In the early twentieth century\, the U.S. government broke up millions of acres of communally owned reservation lands and allotted them to individual Native American households. Households initially received land allotments with limited property rights (‘in trust’)\, and were incentivized to prove themselves “competent” in order to obtain full legal title (‘fee simple’) after a set period. Indian allotment thus had elements of a conditional transfer program aimed at assimilation. The policy was ended suddenly in 1934\, locking in-trust land into its status in perpetuity. We link land allotment information to the universe of Native American households in the 1940 U.S. Census. We exploit quasi-random variation in being allotted as well as in securing the allotment in fee simple. Obtaining an allotment significantly increased the likelihood of living on a farm but not of working as a farmer\, indicating that allottees leased out their land. Allotments also impacted wages and occupational rank. Surprisingly\, allotment most significantly impacted educational attainment. We interpret education as a way of signalling “competency” to government agents. Obtaining the land in fee simple was associated with decreased likelihood of living on a farm and owning one’s home\, evidence that many allottees sold their land once they were deemed competent and obtained title. The fee-simple effects were more pronounced within tribes whose ancestral tribal norms emphasized private over communal property\, indicating a cultural determinant in how the wealth transfer was utilized. Consistent with this\, households in tribes with traditions of private property also engaged in more signalling of their assimilation. \nMore on Prof. Dippel

SUMMARY:Nancy Krieger\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:“Structural Racism and the People’s Health: History and Context Matters” \nAbstract: In this presentation on “Structural racism & the people’s health: history & context matters\,” I commence with a brief reminder as to our current societal and ecological context\, after which I introduce the ecosocial theory of disease distribution\, which guides my work\, including conceptualization and measurement of structural injustice. I then offer empirical examples of my research on structural racism and health inequities\, in relation to Jim Crow and both past and present residential segregation\, as measured using the Index of Concentration at the Extremes for racialized economic segregation and also historical redlining (as delineated by the 1930s federally-sponsored maps produced by the Home Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC)). Health outcomes addressed include: preterm birth; infant mortality; child mortality; cancer incidence\, stage at diagnosis\, and mortality; and breast cancer estrogen receptor status. The presentation concludes with reflections on embodied histories\, health inequities\, and the people’s health. \n*Co-sponsored with the Center for the Study of Racism\, Social Justice & Health \nFind out more about Prof. Krieger
