Next quarter we will look forward to seeing you during our several workshops, working groups, or the seminar series.  Feel free to share these opportunities with colleagues and invite them to join.  All events are open. We are here to accelerate and support your research. We have a grants team, a scientific consulting team (spatial analysis, statistics, and more), several lab facilities (biodemography, UWDC, NWFSRDC), a top-notch computing infrastructure, a network of outstanding CSDE affiliates for collaboration, and very accomplished graduate students – all can help you accomplish your research. If you don’t know where to start, just email: csde@uw.edu.

In winter quarter, the seminar series will welcome Rick Smith (George Mason University) a biocultural anthropologist with expertise in epigenomics; Julianne Meisner (UW Global Health) a CSDE affiliate researching environmental health and the methodological challenges of One Health studies; Rachel Wilbur (WA State Univ.) who researches the health and wellbeing of indigenous peoples and communities; Janna Johnson (U of Minn.) an economic demographer researching demographic dynamics within the United States, both historic and current; Kemi Doll (UW School of Medicine) a CSDE affiliate and an OBGYN who takes a race conscious research approach to understanding women’s health; Yun Zhou (U Mich.) a sociologist who studies gender and family dynamics in China; and, James Raymer (Australia Nat. U.) a demographer researching migration.  We will also host two panel discussions including a panel on demographic methods for estimating mortality during armed conflict and a panel on climate impacts on population health. At the end of winter quarter, please join us when trainees will present their research during our Lightning Talks and Posters session. To learn more about our seminar series click here.
