Looking Forward to Another Exciting Year at CSDE
Posted: 12/26/2024 ()
Welcome to the New Year! We’re looking forward to a winter quarter filled with excellent speakers and population research presentations. Click here for a link to the pdf of our poster (or, if you’re on campus, please send an email to csde@uw.edu, if you want a hardcopy).
We’ll be launching the quarter’s speakers series with a talk by Professor Hilary Schwandt (Western Washington University) who will be reporting results from a six year study of a Rwandan family planning program. In the next week (1/17/24), we shift our focus to migration and a presentation by Professors Irene Bloemraad (University of British Columbia) and Jenny Van Hook (Pennsylvania State University). On January 24, Dr. Mark Henderson (Northeastern University) will discuss his recent, historical research about regional variation in famine outcomes during China’s Great Leap Forward. Professor Patrick Greiner (Sociology, University of Washington) will present population research on energy consumption patterns as indicative of a convergence around behavioral and technical change on January 31. We’ll host a panel presentation on demographic responses to California wildfires by a team of interdisciplinary scholars – Professor Sameer Shah (SEFS, UW), Professor Ethan Sharygin (Portland State University), Dr. Mary Angelica Painter (University of Colorado) – on February 7. For the rest of the quarter, CSDE’s seminars will focus on a population health questions in a number of domains. First, on February 14, Professor Amy Bailey (University of Illinois, Chicago) will present her research on “History as a Fundamental Cause of Disease.” Then, on February 21, we’ll host Professor Brea Perry (Indiana University) during her presentation on “Aging and the Social Brain” which examines the role of social networks in Alzheimer’s disease progression. On February 28, Professor Sasha Johfre (Sociology, UW) will present on “Conceptualizing Age, Predicting Inequality.” And, then on March 7, Professor Jason Kerwin (Economics, UW) and Divya Pandey (University of Minnesota) will present on “Navigating Ambiguity: Imprecise of Probabilities and Updating of Disease Risk Beliefs.” We’ll close out the quarter speaker series with lightning talks and poster presentations by CSDE Trainees on March 14.
