SUMMARY:Giovanna Merli: The Changing Intellectual Landscape of Demography: A Computational Look at Published Scholarship\, 1950-2020
DESCRIPTION:On November 19\, 2021\, Giovanna Merli\, Professor of Public Policy and Sociology at Duke University and a member of the Duke Global Health Institute\, will present “The Changing Intellectual Landscape of Demography: A Computational Look at Published Scholarship\, 1950-2020” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nHer research straddles three disciplinary realms: demography\, contemporary Chinese society and global health. She focuses on a range of population and health issues in developing countries that intersect frontline public policy\, such as the role of China’s population control program in lowering fertility preferences and fertility rates in China\, the social and behavioral determinants of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases and the evaluation of methodological approaches to sample hard-to-reach and hidden populations at high risk of acquiring HIV/AIDS. Merli combines her passion for demography and her 20-years experience with living in\, studying and conducting research in China in her most recent work. China is a very low HIV prevalence setting but infection rates are high in some population groups whose behaviors are driving the Chinese epidemic. Thus\, it is crucial to understand the social and behavioral patterns that put population groups with different risk profiles in contact with each other. Merli’s work examines the social and behavioral factors that create conditions which lead individuals in China to acquire HIV infection. This work is crucial to inform the design of appropriate interventions to prevent further spread of infection. Merli also studies HIV/AIDS in another\, very different setting of the global HIV epidemic\, South Africa\, where the AIDS morbidity and mortality crises are tantamount to a perturbation of the age structure. HIV/AIDS in South Africa mostly affects individuals in the mid-adult ages and her work focuses on understanding the consequences of this mortality and morbidity crisis for families and households. Research in China is my comparative advantage. \nAbstract: \nMuch of what we know about the intellectual landscape of demography comes from subjective narratives authored by leaders in the field\, whose reviews and observations are grounded in their broad knowledge of the field. Here we use bibliographic information from all articles in the journals Demography\, Population Studies and Population and Development Review to survey the changing contours of the field over the past 70 years. We characterize the field by applying a two-pronged\, data-driven approach from the sociology of science. The first uses natural language processing that lets the substance of the field emerge from the contents of publication records and applies social network analyses to identify groups of papers that talk about the same thing. The second uses bibliometric tools to capture demographers’ reliance on other disciplines. Our goals are to (a) identify the primary topics of demography since the discipline first gained prominence as an organized field; (b) assess changes in the field’s intellectual cohesion and the topical areas that have grown or shrunk; (c) examine how demographers place their work in relationship to other disciplines and our field’s visibility in the scientific literature. We discuss prospects for the continued scientific importance of demography as a standalone research field and its public visibility. \nWe record as many seminars as possible.

SUMMARY:Patrick Heuveline: CPC and the Future of Population Research
DESCRIPTION:On January 21\, 2022\, Patrick Heuveline\, Professor of Sociology at UCLA\, will present “CPC and the Future of Population Research” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nAbout Patrick Heuveline: \nMost of my recent research has focused on the long-term consequences of the “Khmer-Rouge” regime\, one of the most oppressive regimes in the second half of the 20th century. Yet\, these past months have humbled and reminded me of my duty to listen to our community so that I can learn how to be the ally that they deserve in the fight for justice\, including against anti-Black racism. \nMy substantive research interests center on how childhood family structures affect child wellbeing and the transition to adulthood. \nMy work to date is divided between comparative\, secondary data analyses on single parenting or cohabitation in Western Nations\, and an ongoing project in Cambodia\, which began in 2000 and is designed to study family change since the Khmer-Rouge period (1975-79). \nMethodologically\, I am interested in developing and estimating models centered on population dynamics to represent phenomena that are intertwined with demographic processes. To date\, the main applications have been on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Eastern Africa and on the death toll of the Khmers Rouges’ regime. \n

SUMMARY:Karen Benjamin Guzzo: CPC and the Future of Population Research
DESCRIPTION:On February 4\, 2022\, Karen Benjamin Guzzo\, Professor of Sociology at Bowling Green State University\, will present “CPC and the Future of Population Research” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nKaren Benjamin Guzzo received her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of North Carolina in 2003 and completed postdoctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania. She joined the faculty at Bowling Green State University in fall 2011. She serves as the Director of the Center for Family and Demographic Research\, and her work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health\, the National Science Foundation\, and the Department of Health and Human Services. Trained as a family demographer and sociologist\, most of her work examines what is considered “nontraditional” family behaviors. One line of research examines unintended fertility\, looking at trends over time as well as the antecedents and consequences of unplanned births. A related line of work looks at nonmarital childbearing and multipartnered fertility\, where individuals have children by different partners. Dr. Guzzo also studies trends in cohabitation\, which has become increasingly common in the United States\, but decreasingly likely to lead to marriage even as more cohabiting couples are raising children. Finally\, she is interested in the measurement of fertility and family behaviors.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Rob Warren: CPC and the Future of Population Research
DESCRIPTION:On February 21\, 2022\, Rob Warren\, Professor of Sociology at the University of Minnesota and the director of the Minnesota Population Center\, will present “CPC and the Future of Population Research” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nAbout Rob Warren: \n\nI am a sociologist\, demographer\, population health scholar\, and education policy researcher with experience and expertise in the collection\, production\, and dissemination of large-scale data products for research on health\, aging\, education\, and labor force outcomes through my NIH- and NSF-funded work on High School and Beyond (HSB)\, the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS)\, the 1940 U.S. Census\, and the IPUMS version of the Current Population Surveys (IPUMS-CPS). I am involved in the construction of the new 100% count historical Census data sets for IPUMS\, and I have two ongoing NIH-funded projects to link early 20th century U.S. Census data to (1) several modern surveys of older Americans\, including the HRS\, PSID\, and WLS and (2) recent mortality records from the Social Security Administration. \nI am currently Co-Director\, with Theresa Osypuk\, of the NICHD-funded Training Program in Population Health Science (T32HD095134). \nWith Chandra Muller\, Eric Grodsky\, and Jennifer Manly I am conducting follow-up surveys of the High School and Beyond cohort (with support from 1R01AG058719-01A1).  These ~25\,500 people were first interviewed in high school in 1980.  HS&B data – including a 2021-2022 follow-up focused on the early-life predictors of cognitive impairment – provide leverage in understanding the roles of education\, skills\, and childhood social circumstances  in shaping work\, health\, and cognitive well-being at midlife.

SUMMARY:Michael Esposito: Historical redlining and contemporary disparities in neighborhood life expectancy
DESCRIPTION:On March 4\, 2022\, Michael Esposito\, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Washington University in St. Louis\, will present “Historical redlining and contemporary disparities in neighborhood life expectancy” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \n\nProfessor Esposito’s research focuses on understanding the production of racialized disparities in population health. \n\n\nDr. Esposito investigates how broad\, racialized social systems – and their constituent institutions – are configured in ways that layer privileges on white populations and hazards on BIPOC populations. His research ultimately seeks to understand how these systematically-distributed privileges and penalties arrive on population health. \nThis work includes studies that examine how the actions of race-cognizant institutions (e.g.\, law enforcement agencies) contribute to health disparities; research that considers how multiple racialized systems overlap to gate access to generative health contexts; and\, projects which demonstrate how structural racism enters and distorts social processes that are foundational to well-being (e.g.\, the association among education and health). \nDr. Esposito uses contemporary statistical methods – Bayesian and counterfactual-based mediation approaches at the moment – across his work.  Esposito’s research has appeared in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences; American Journal of Sociology; American Journal of Public Health and more.

SUMMARY:Ashton Verdery: COVID-19\, bereavement\, and downstream health challenges
DESCRIPTION:On April 1\, 2022\, Ashton Verdery\, Associate Professor of Sociology & Demography at Pennsylvania State University\, will present “COVID-19\, bereavement\, and downstream health challenges” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nDr. Verdery’s research focuses on social networks: how and why people are socially connected to each other and the consequences of those connections. Within this broad area\, he is especially interested in demographic processes\, specifically how population dynamics shape family\, kinship\, and social networks and how those networks in turn affect health and other population processes. Dr. Verdery is a graduate of CPC’s Training Program. \nAbstract: Millions around the world are grieving the loss of loved ones from COVID-19\, but prior research has not tested whether COVID-19-related bereavement presents unique health risks compared to other forms of bereavement. If bereavement from COVID-19 is more strongly associated with health challenges than bereavement more generally\, large cohorts of newly bereaved individuals may create lasting population health challenges in heavily affected countries. Using population-based data and a pseudo-experimental\, difference-in-difference research design\, we test whether associations between family bereavement and depression differ when bereavement is caused by COVID-19 compared to other causes. Consistent with past scholarship\, we find strong associations between family bereavement and depression and that self-reported depression appears to have decreased during the pandemic. However\, our difference-in-difference estimates indicate that experiencing COVID-19-related family bereavement is more strongly associated with depression than non-COVID-19 forms of bereavement\, a finding that is robust across numerous specifications related to duration since exposure and type of family member lost\, but that shows some variation across subpopulations by gender\, age\, and severity of local COVID-19 mortality shock. This research raises new concerns about the long-run implications of the COVID-19 pandemic’s secondary impacts\, further underscores the health risks associated with bereavement more generally\, and highlights how acute mortality shocks of different sorts can create cascading population health challenges. Coauthors: Haowei Wang\, Emily Smith-Greenaway\, Shawn Bauldry\, and Rachel Margolis. \nWe record as many seminars as possible. You can see previous events here.
