Early Career Demographers Invited to Join FIELD Initiative

Posted: 10/2/2022 (Demography News)

The James F. Holmes Future Inclusion and Equity Leadership Development (FIELD) Initiative (based at Georgetown University) is seeking early to mid career demographers who would be interested in having a more influential voice in shaping census data and approaches that can better reflect the diversity of the U.S. population. If you are interested in learning more about this initiative or know of someone who might be, please fill out this Google Form [docs.google.com].

The CQR Task Force is a learning community for research, education, and coordination around decennial census data quality and fitness for use for three primary use cases: congressional apportionment, redistricting, and the distribution of federal funds. The task force is non-partisan with a strong emphasis on supporting the integrity of the institution of the Census Bureau. The core task force includes NCoC, the Brennan Center for Justice, Georgetown’s Center on Poverty & Inequality, The Leadership Conference, NALEO, AAJC, and Data & Society, with data science support from Demographic Analytics Advisors, and larger working groups as-needed to dive into specific issues.
