CSDE Trainees and Affiliates Receive PAA Poster Awards

Posted: 5/21/2026 (CSDE Awards)

Two posters by CSDE Trainees and Affiliates received awards at PAA 2026!

CSDE Trainee Julie Kim (Global Health) was recognized in the Family Demography theme for her poster, “Racial-Ethnic and Gender Inequalities in U.S. Internal Migration.” Kim developed high-resolution estimates of interstate migration by age, sex, race-ethnicity, and state in the United States from 2000–2022 using harmonized survey data within a Bayesian hierarchical framework. The results reveal substantial diversity in migration regimes across racial-ethnic groups, including differences in mobility intensity, age patterns, and destination concentration, highlighting increasingly diverse geographic mobility systems in the United States. Congratulations, Julie!

Brandon Morande (Sociology) led joint work with CSDE Affiliate Amy Hagopian (Health Systems and Population Health), CSDE Affiliate Zack Almquist (Sociology), and Kim Serry, which was recognized in the Data and Methods/Applied Demography category.  The team’s study used street outreach data to investigate where people migrate following encampment clearances and employed relational event models to predict the likelihood of various outcomes. Results suggest that displaced residents remain nearby but reside in smaller camp communities. People appear unlikely to move indoors and instead face high risks of losing contact with service providers. These trends hold regardless of individual demographics, although people with certain health conditions demonstrate stronger place attachments. Congratulations, Brandon, Kim, Dr. Hagopian and Dr. Almquist!
