Come celebrate the start of the year with CSDE! Catch up with your colleagues, meet new affiliates, fellows, and trainees, and find out what is new at CSDE. Refreshments provided.

We are meeting at the usual 12:30 PM seminar time, but please note the special location for the Reception: Smith Room in Suzzallo Library

Join CSDE’s Biomarker Working Group meetings for the 2018-2019 academic year! The purpose of the Working Group is to provide a forum for discussions of practical and theoretical issues associated with collecting and using biomarker data in social and behavioral science research. We hope to provide an opportunity for faculty and students with an interest in biomarker methods to meet researchers with similar interests from departments across campus.

Designed to complement formal course instruction, CSDE Workshops are offered in a shorter, more accessible format responsive to the specific demographic research needs of CSDE’s Trainees and Faculty Affiliates.

The Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science (IAPHS) has honored CSDE Fellow Alumnus, Michael Esposito, PhD in Sociology at UW, as Member of the Month. Dr. Esposito is now Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Michigan, Survey Research Center and Institute for Social Research. He specializes in population health and studies how and why race matters for health. His work describes the processes that generate racial disparities in health outcomes and addresses methodological difficulties by applying cutting-edge methods to unique data.

The CSDE community is thrilled to welcome Jennifer Utrata, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Puget Sound, for the 2018-19 academic year. Utrata is a visiting scholar as part of her American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowship for Recently Tenured Scholars.

Utrata is interested in how economic and cultural transformations shape gender and intimate relationships in families.
