She has combined these interests to develop a research agenda divided into three broad areas: the black middle class\, the intersection of educational attainment and racial identification\, and intra-racial health disparities. The common theme in her work is decomposing what it means to be black in America by focusing on intra-group variability in regards to class\, space\, identity\, educational achievement\, and mental health. Professor Marsh teaches undergraduate courses in Research Methods and Race Relations. In addition\, she is interested in constructing specialized graduate and undergraduate seminars on Racial Residential Segregation\, Black Middle Class\, and Sociology of Education.

She has been conducting community-based research in the Dominican Republic for over 15 years. In collaboration with the Centro de Orientacion e Investigacion Integral (COIN)\, she studied the social networks of male clients of female sex workers. Results from this study contributed to the growing literature on normative influences on sexual behavior within social networks and were also used in developing a pilot HIV prevention intervention aimed at male clients in the Dominican Republic (funded by the USAID/Academy for Educational Development). Most recently\, with support from USAID\, Barrington has been studying a cohort of 250 female sex workers living with HIV in Santo Domingo and their male partners. The aim is to improve understanding of the factors influencing their achievement of optimal HIV outcomes and to assess feasibility and initial effects of a multi-level intervention called Abriendo Puertas (Opening Doors). In Guatemala\, she has collaborated with researchers from the Universidad del Valle (UVG) and the Centers for Disease control to examine and compare social networks among gay identifying and non-gay identifying MSM and transgender women. She is currently working with UVG to implement two PEPFAR-funded implementation science projects to pilot the use of social networks to promote HIV testing among MSM in Guatemala City and to evaluate a multi-level intervention for MSM living with HIV. In North Carolina\, Barrington has been studying the intersection between social networks\, migration and HIV among Mexican migrants. She currently leads the qualitative formative research and evaluation of a HRSA project to promote early detection and linkage to care for HIV among Mexican MSM and transgender women in North Carolina. Finally\, Barrington is the qualitative researcher on several mixed-methods projects including a NIDA-funded longitudinal study of relationship disruption during incarceration and HIV risk among African American men in North Carolina\, a quality improvement strategy to improve maternal and child health in Ghana\, and an impact evaluation of cash transfer program in Malawi. \nBarrington will continue to conduct mixed-methods research to improve understanding of the long-term experiences of people living with HIV in Latin America and Latinos in North Carolina. In the Dominican Republic her goal is to continue research with the Abriendo Puertas cohort to examine the role of substance use in HIV care and treatment among female sex workers living with HIV. She also has a grant pending to the adapt Abriendo Puertas for MSM. She is also interested in exploring how to improve employment opportunities for FSW\, MSM and transgender women who are living with HIV in the Dominican Republic\, Guatemala\, and North Carolina as this has emerged as key structural determinant to positive HIV outcomes across settings. With her work with Latinos in North Carolina she aims to identify strategies to overcome the challenges of geographic dispersion and social isolation for engaging with Latinos living with HIV. She is also developing a new line of research focused on chronic disease in Latin America. She will conduct formative research in collaboration with two rural diabetes clinics to examine the epidemiological transition from the perspective of community health workers and explore social determinants of diabetes in these communities.

Philip Morgan\nPanelists\nDr. Yong Cai: CPC Faculty Fellow (Sociology)\nDr. Peter Coclanis: CPC Faculty Fellow (History)\nDr. Sian Curtis: CPC Faculty Fellow (Maternal & Child Health)\nDr. Paul Leslie: CPC Faculty Fellow (Anthropology) \nRapid population growth in the 1950s\, 60s and 70s raised concern about a population explosion with repercussions for the environment\, resource depletion and political stability. One could argue that the “population bomb” (Ehrlich\, 1968) has been diffused – global population growth has slowed and many predict its end in the next half-century. Concern about population growth spawned a “social movement” to curb fertility; a few at the time called this hysteria and an overreaction. In retrospect more are asking this question\, as the New York Times (http://tiny.cc/zlb62x) did this summer. In his 2011 PAA Presidential address\, David Lam raised similar questions\, as did a cover story in The Economist (October\, 2009). What do we think? \nLam\, D. (2011).

Peter first worked with the RLMS in 1997 when she received a funded scholarship as part of an RLMS training program to introduce Russian economists and sociologists from outside Moscow RLMS and to longitudinal research methods. She has been working with the RLMS ever since that date and uses these longitudinal data in much of her work. She has collaborated with Barry Popkin in fielding the RLMS since the mid2000s. She was actively involved in the design and implementation of the Ukrainian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey\, the Survey of RLMS Local Administrations\, and the survey of all employers of RLMS wage workers. Currently she is editing the symposium of cross-disciplinary research articles based on RLMS (forthcoming in Economics of Transition). \nPeter’s advisees work on the spatial discontinuity in demographic outcomes\, the factors of migration assimilation\, the reversal of the gender gap in educational attainment\, and intergenerational economic mobility. She teaches a PhD-level class\, Labor Economics\, which is a population course approved by CPC. The course attracts students from various disciplines\, including economics\, public policy\, health policy and management\, sociology\, and city and regional planning. \nKlara Peter’s research will take advantage of dynamic\, multi-level\, cross-spatial\, inter-generational longitudinal analysis in understanding population-related outcomes. In particular\, her research will focus on some of the methodological issues in causal inference\, including the marginal treatment effect method and the spatial discontinuity design as applied to the distributional returns to human capital and other social outcomes.

Schaefer Professor of International Studies\nProfessor of Economics\, Global Health and Public Policy\nDepartment of Economics\, Duke University \nDuncan Thomas investigates the inter-relationships between health\, human capital and socio-economic status with a focus on the roles that individual\, family and community factors play in improving levels of health and well-being across the globe. Much of this work highlights resource allocation and decision-making within households and families. His research uses data from large-scale population based longitudinal surveys that he has designed and fielded in collaboration with Elizabeth Frankenberg and other colleagues in the U.S.\, Indonesia and Mexico. These include the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS)\, the Work and Iron Status Evaluation (WISE)\, the Study of the Tsunami Aftermath and Recovery (STAR) and the Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS). He was elected vice president of the Population Association of America (PAA) and\, prior to that\, was elected to the PAA Board of Directors. He is a fellow\, past president and board member of the Bureau for Research in the Economic Analysis of Development (BREAD) and he currently directs the NBER Development Economics program.
