SUMMARY:Goleen Samari\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Goleen Samari is an assistant professor and population health demographer in the Heilbrunn Department of Population and Family Health and Program on Forced Migration and Health at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. Her research considers how racism\, gender inequities\, and migration-based inequities shape reproductive and population health with a particular focus on populations in or from the Middle East and North Africa. She was the first to draw attention to the racialization of religious minorities and Islamophobia as a public health issue. Her research aims to understand and alleviate intersectional structural determinants of health over the life course and bridge some of the gap between research and policy. Dr. Samari is a former doctoral trainee of the California Center for Population Research\, and she earned a Ph.D. in public health\, an MPH in community health sciences\, and an MA in Islamic studies from the University of California\, Los Angeles. \nStructural Xenophobia and Birth Outcomes: The Role of Exclusive Immigration Policies \nAnti-immigrant stigma or xenophobia is increasingly pervasive globally. The epidemiological implications of the recent wave of xenophobic policies are increasingly of interest to population health scientists. This talk will present findings from a study that explores the impact of one such policy\, the 2017 travel ban on individuals from Muslim majority countries\, and birth outcomes among women from those countries residing in the US. We also consider how structural xenophobia can be measured and present a new measure\, the immigration policy climate (IPC) index\, that captures state immigration policy environments from 2009 to 2019. The IPC index includes fourteen inclusionary and exclusionary policies across all US states and Washington\, DC. We will discuss how the IPC index offers opportunities to explore immigrant health and behavioral outcomes including reproductive and maternal health outcomes. \nYou can access the CCPR seminar using this link.

SUMMARY:CCPR Workshop: Planning for and Writing an NIH grant proposal
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This seminar will describe key issues in planning for and writing a research grant proposal for the National Institutes of Health if you are a demographer\, social scientist\, and/or working on the social determinants of health. The emphasis will be on R01\, R21\, and R03 proposals. Participants are invited to bring their own experiences with NIH grant proposal preparation and questions for discussion. \nThe recording of the workshop may be accessed here.

SUMMARY:CCPR 2022 PAA Practice Session
DESCRIPTION:Nathan Hoffmann \nTitle: Strangers in the Homeland? The Academic Performance of Children of Return Migrants in Mexico \nAbstract: The number of return migrants from the U.S. to Mexico has swelled in recent years\, and yet we know little about the academic performance of the over 500\,000 U.S.-born children who have accompanied them. This paper harnesses PISA test score data to compare U.S.-born children of return migrants in Mexico to two groups: Mexican-born students in Mexico\, and students in the U.S. born to Spanish-speaking immigrant parents. Contrary to previous work highlighting the academic struggles faced by children of return migrants\, these adolescents attain higher PISA scores than their Mexican-born counterparts. This advantage persists in models that control for both pre- and post-migration family characteristics. However\, these adolescents’ scores are much lower than similar youths in the U.S.\, and controlling for variables related to immigrant selection barely changes estimates of disparities. Furthermore\, results vary little by possible moderators. Overall\, these findings suggest that these often forcibly displaced adolescents quickly assimilate to the relatively low educational standards of Mexican schools\, highlighting the importance of institutional factors in the assimilation process. \nCaitlin Ahern  \nTitle: When and For Whom is College “Worth” It? The Direct and Indirect Effects of Less-Selective College Enrollment on Economic Insecurity \nAbstract: As high-quality jobs and socioeconomic stability for less-educated workers have diminished\, college is seen as the surest way to avoid negative socioeconomic outcomes. However\, institutional differences suggest that the receipt of these economic benefits may depend not only on whether an individual enrolls in school but also where. In this study\, I use data from the NLSY97 to assess how enrollment in a broad access institution – either a less-selective four-year college or a community college – affects low wage work and unemployment. I further assess the mediating pathway of degree attainment\, and explore heterogeneity by socioeconomic background. Findings indicate that community college enrollment reduces low-wage work and unemployment relative to no college\, and that less-selective four-year college rather than community college enrollment reduces low wage work. Yet\, less-selective four-year college enrollment rather than more-selective four-year college enrollment does not appear to increase low wage work or unemployment. In addition\, degree attainment appears to substantially mediate the effects of broad-access enrollment on low wage work. Finally\, although I find some suggestive evidence of heterogeneity by socioeconomic background in the direct effects of community college and less-selective four-year college enrollment on low-wage work\, the results are imprecise and no clear pattern emerges.
