SUMMARY:Feinian Chen\, Johns Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Feinian Chen is Professor of Sociology and faculty affiliate at the Hopkins Population Center at Johns Hopkins University. She received her PhD in sociology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2001 and was trained in social demography at the Carolina Population Center. Her research crosscuts a range of areas in demography\, family sociology\, gender\, aging\, and quantitative methodology. Her main research interests include women’s work and family\, intergenerational relations\, population aging and health. Her work has been published in the American Sociological Review\, Social Forces\, Demography\, Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences\, Journal of Health and Social Behavior\, Journal of Marriage and Family\, and Sociological Methods and Research. Her work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Hewlett Foundation. She is actively engaged in research in family transitions\, gender dynamics\, and their health implications in the diverse contexts of China\, India\, the Philippines\, and the U.S. \nReconfiguring Social Disconnectedness and Its Link to Psychological Well-being among Older Adults in Rural China \nAbstract: Using data from 2015 and 2018 waves of the Longitudinal Study of Older Adults in Anhui Province\, China\, we investigated associations between different forms of social disconnectedness (social isolation\, loneliness\, living alone) and psychological well-being of older adults longitudinally. The results showed that social isolation and loneliness were independently associated with psychological well-being\, whereas living alone was not. Different forms of social disconnectedness had additive and interactive effects on psychological well-being of older adults. Those who were exposed to all three forms of social disconnectedness suffered from the lowest level of psychological well-being. Moreover\, the adverse effects of social disconnectedness on psychological well-being were found to be stronger for older women than for older men. The results underscore the necessity to consider multiple forms of social disconnectedness as well as their different combinations in explaining psychological well-being in later life.

SUMMARY:Alexandra Killewald\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Alexandra (Sasha) Killewald is Professor of Sociology at Harvard University. She uses quantitative methods to study inequality in the contemporary United States. In one line of research\, Killewald investigates the gendered intersection of work and family. In another\, she analyzes how wealth inequality persists across generations and the role of intergenerational processes in the racial wealth gap. \nKillewald’s research has been published in journals including American Sociological Review\, Demography\, Social Forces\, and Journal of Marriage and Family. She is the recipient of the William Julius Wilson Early Career Award from the ASA Section on Inequality\, Poverty\, and Mobility and has received article awards from the ASA Section on Family and the ASA Section on Sociology of Population. \nKillewald received her PhD in Public Policy and Sociology from the University of Michigan in 2011. Prior to her appointment at Harvard\, she was a researcher at Mathematica. \nTitle: Can Changing Family Demographics Help Explain the Narrowing Gender Wage Gap? \nAbstract: We argue that changing family demography can help explain the narrowing gender pay gap in the United States since 1980. To understand this\, we introduce the concept of “wedge characteristics” — characteristics differently associated with wages for women compared to men. While prior analyses often spotlight how convergence in men’s and women’s human capital can narrow the gender pay gap\, wedge characteristics imply that changes in the family-demographic composition of the labor force can also alter the gender pay gap. Gender pay gaps are larger among the married than the unmarried and among parents than the childless\, suggesting that declines in marriage and fertility since 1980 can help explain gender pay convergence. We find that changes 1980-2018 in marriage and fertility alone explain about a quarter of the gender convergence in pay among full-time employees and explain 14 percent net of changes in human capital. We further show that these results are largely driven by compositional change and do not require gender convergence in family-demographic traits. Our results also reveal that the pace of family-demographic change was fastest in the 1980s and subsequently slowed\, which\, in conjunction with persistent wage wedges\, helps explain stalled progress toward gender pay parity.

SUMMARY:Kareem Haggag\, UCLA
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Kareem Haggag is an Assistant Professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management in the Behavioral Decision Making area. He is also a Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Professor Haggag studies topics at the intersections of economics\, political science\, and psychology. Much of his research examines the roots and consequences of biases in the contexts of consumer choice\, finance\, education\, voting\, and labor markets. \nThe Effects of Racial Segregation on Intergenerational Mobility: Evidence from Historical Railroad Placements (with Eric Chyn and Bryan Stuart) \nAbstract: This paper provides new evidence on the causal impacts of city-wide racial segregation on intergenerational mobility. We use an instrumental variable approach that relies on plausibly exogenous variation in segregation due to the arrangement of railroad tracks in the nineteenth century (Ananat 2011). Our analysis finds that greater segregation reduces upward mobility for Black children from households across the income distribution and White children from low-income households. Moreover\, segregation lowers academic achievement while increasing incarceration rates and teenage birth rates. An analysis of mechanisms shows that segregation reduces government spending\, weakens support for anti-poverty policies\, and increases racially conservative attitudes among White residents.

SUMMARY:Ray Lovett\, Australian National University
DESCRIPTION:Title: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Data Development in Australia: Supporting Our Nation(s) Agenda. \nAuthor(s) and presenters: Ray  Lovett (Wongaibon/Ngiyampaa)\, Jan Chapman (Taungurung)\, Makayla Brinckley (Wiradjuri)\, Nadine Hunt (Iamalaig and Kaanju). \nIndigenous Peoples worldwide lack opportunity to develop and implement their community development agendas from their cultural framework. Instead\, governments and others impose what they conceive as development. This constitutes a modern form of settler-colonialism which at a minimum has the potential to be ineffective and at worst is harmful to Indigenous Peoples. This presentation will highlight how Indigenous community driven processes in Australia were applied to develop a national level cohort study and community-based census\, and how these are being used to influence Australian policy. We will also highlight how\, at a community level\, these data tools can be used for community development aspirations. \nBiographies:  \nDr. Raymond Lovett BN\, RN\, BHSc\, MAE\, PhD is a Senior Research Fellow with the Epidemiology for Policy and Practice group at the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health\, The Australian National University. He also holds an adjunct Fellowship at the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) in the Indigenous Social and Cultural Wellbeing group. Ray is an Aboriginal (Ngiyampaa/Wongaibon) epidemiologist with extensive experience in health services research\, large scale data analysis for public health policy development and evaluation. \nJan Chapman\, BPubPol is Aboriginal (Taungurung) from Australia. She graduated from the University of Tasmania with a degree in Public Policy and Social Ecology. Jan is the Mayi Kuwayu Study Manager in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Program at the Australian National University. She has extensive Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander policy experience across Indigenous Chronic Disease and for the last ten years she has managed all Mayi Kuwayu data development and data collection\, including through the extensive community networks. Together with Nadine\, Jan is currently assisting one community to embed their own data systems and processes aligned with their community development agenda. \nMakayla-May Brinckley is a Wiradjuri woman with family ties to Cootamundra\, NSW. After graduating from Psychology Honours from the ANU in 2019\, she worked as a research assistant in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Program in the Research School of Population Health. Makayla is now an Indigenous Postdoctoral Fellow in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Program\, with much of her work based within Mayi Kuwayu: the National Study of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Wellbeing. Makayla is passionate about holistic health and wellbeing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people\, and taking a strengths-based and decolonial approach to health and wellbeing. \nNadine Hunt is an Iamalaig and Kaanju woman and a Community Researcher\, based in Cairns with travel throughout Far North Queensland. Nadine has spent the last six years working with the Indigenous Marathon Foundation in Canberra\, developing a national grassroots running program in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island communities. Nadine continues her volunteer work as a running coach with the Cairns Deadly Runners\, and has recently begun a Bachelor of Business degree through James Cook University. \n
