CSDE Seminar Series


Because many of our Affiliates will be at PAA 2017 this Friday, there is no CSDE Seminar this week. If you’re headed to the conference as well, make sure you stop by some of our Affiliates’ presentations! You can see a list of CSDE speakers, topics, and times here.

We will resume next Friday on May 5 with a special panel discussion–join Robert Plotnick, Scott Allard, Marieka Klawitter, and Jennifer Romich for conversation on the intersection of population dynamics, poverty, and policy.
