SUMMARY:Julia Behrman: Family Size Ideals in Flux? Change and Variation in the United States
DESCRIPTION:On April 28\, 2023\, Julia Behrman (Northwestern) will present “Family Size Ideals in Flux? Change and Variation in the United States” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2022-2023 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nJulia Behrman’s research investigates the causes and consequences of family change in a global perspective. Her research explores how the institution of the family shapes and is shaped by key social phenomenon in four main areas: (i) educational expansion; (ii) environmental change\, natural disaster and climate shocks; (iii) expansion of women’s labor force participation; and (iv) migration. Much of her work is motivated by questions of power: who has power within families and how is it manifested? What events or experiences lead to changes in power dynamics within families? Do changes in family structures alleviate or perpetuate disadvantage between and within families? \nBehrman’s research has received funding from the National Science Foundation and South African Medical Research Council and her work has received awards from American Sociological Association Sections on Education\, Population\, and Development; the Society for the Study of Social Problems; the Population Association of America; and the Sociologist AIDS Network. Prior to starting at Northwestern\, she was a Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow in Sociology at Nuffield College\, University of Oxford. She received her PhD from New York University in 2017.

SUMMARY:Sarah Burgard: Remembrance of things past? Measuring life course exposures as determinants of health
DESCRIPTION:On April 21\, 2022\, Sarah Burgard will present “Remembrance of things past? Measuring life course exposures as determinants of health” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2022-2023 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nBio: I am a professor of Sociology and by courtesy\, of Epidemiology and Public Policy. I am also a Research Professor in the Population Studies Center and Research Affiliate in the Survey Research Center\, both at the Institute for Social Research\, and am the incoming director of the Population Studies Center. I have a publication record in social and health science journals in the areas of the life course determinants of health and wellbeing in later life and related health disparities\, and have received funding for my research and for data collection in these areas from NIH and private foundations. I am currently an affiliate and Advisory Panel member for the Michigan Center for the Demography of Aging (MICDA)\, a Technical Review Committee member of the National Longitudinal Studies program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics\, a former member on the Population Association Board of Directors. I also led implementation of the Institute for Social Research Strategic plan for Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion for three years. \nI conduct research on the social stratification of aging and health with population-based survey data\, and have published extensively on the social factors underlying health disparities by socioeconomic status\, gender\, and race/ethnicity across the life course. I have focused particularly on the links between employment and health in later life\, including mental health\, chronic disease and overall health status\, and health behaviors. Some of my recent research and funding has centered on understanding these questions in the context of economic recessions\, which disrupt career\, economic\, and health paths for many adults\, but especially for socioeconomically-marginalized groups. I am PI of the 2020 Americans’ Changing Lives Study ACLLIFE wave\, which will collect full retrospective life histories including extensive information about life events from a cohort now in their late 50s\, and a PI of the Michigan Recession and Recovery Study\, a panel survey of adults in Southeast Michigan that has been tracking the life events and mental health of these individuals in the wake of the Great Recession of 2007-2009. Using these data\, I have published on the influences of job loss\, financial shocks\, debt\, housing instability\, and material hardship\, with a focus on creating life course measures of cumulative disadvantage for which retrospective or prospective life history data are essential.

SUMMARY:Chuck Huber\, Intro to Survey Statistics Using Stata
DESCRIPTION:On October 7\, 2022\, Chuck Huber will present as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2022-2023 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nChuck Huber is Associate Director of Statistical Outreach at StataCorp and Adjunct Associate Professor of Biostatistics at the Texas A&M School of Public Health. In addition to working with Stata’s team of software developers\, he produces instructional videos for the Stata Youtube channel\, writes blog entries\, develops online NetCourses and gives talks about Stata at conferences and universities. Most of his current work is focused on statistical methods used by behavioral and health scientists. He has published in the areas of neurology\, human and animal genetics\, alcohol and drug abuse prevention\, nutrition and birth defects. Dr. Huber currently teaches introductory biostatistics at Texas A&M where he previously taught categorical data analysis\, survey data analysis\, and statistical genetics. \nAbstract \nThis talk will review the concepts of probability and nonprobability sampling\, sampling with and without replacement\, and introduce the finite population correction factor. We introduce the major sampling designs\, how to calculate sample weights\, and how to use Stata’s “svyset” command to prepare data for analyses that account for the sampling design. We will then demonstrate how to analyze data with these characteristics.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Julia Behrman\, Family Size Ideals in Flux? Change and Variation in the United States
DESCRIPTION:On September 30\, 2022\, Julia Behrman (Northwestern) will present “Family Size Ideals in Flux? Change and Variation in the United States” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2022-2023 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nJulia Behrman’s research investigates the causes and consequences of family change in a global perspective. Her research explores how the institution of the family shapes and is shaped by key social phenomenon in four main areas: (i) educational expansion; (ii) environmental change\, natural disaster and climate shocks; (iii) expansion of women’s labor force participation; and (iv) migration. Much of her work is motivated by questions of power: who has power within families and how is it manifested? What events or experiences lead to changes in power dynamics within families? Do changes in family structures alleviate or perpetuate disadvantage between and within families? \nBehrman’s research has received funding from the National Science Foundation and South African Medical Research Council and her work has received awards from American Sociological Association Sections on Education\, Population\, and Development; the Society for the Study of Social Problems; the Population Association of America; and the Sociologist AIDS Network. Prior to starting at Northwestern\, she was a Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow in Sociology at Nuffield College\, University of Oxford. She received her PhD from New York University in 2017.

SUMMARY:Marcos Rangel\, First Impressions Matter: Evidence from Elementary-School Teachers
DESCRIPTION:On September 23\, 2022\, Marcos Rangel will present “First Impressions Matter: Evidence from Elementary-School Teachers” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2022-2023 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nRangel is an applied microeconomist. His research focuses on the patterns of accumulation of human capital with particular attention to the intra-family decision process (parents and children)\, to the impact of policies to foment education and health\, and to racial differentials. His research has contributed to a better understanding of how the negotiations between mother and fathers\, and also how families insert themselves into societies\, influence the allocation of resources towards investment in human capital of children. \n\n\nAbstract:\n\n\nWe study the empirical relevance of first impressions in the context of education. We find that teachers who begin their careers in classrooms with large White-Black incoming score differentials carry negative views into evaluations of future cohorts of Black students relative to their White classmates. Our evidence is based on novel data on blind evaluations and non-blind public school teacher assessments of fourth and fifth graders in North Carolina. Teachers’ perceptions are particularly sensitive to relatively low-performing Black students in early classrooms\, but not to relatively high-performing Black students. Since teacher expectations can shape grading patterns and sorting into academic tracks as well as students’ own beliefs and behaviors\, these findings suggest an important link between specific novice teachers’ initial experiences and the persistence of racial gaps in educational achievement and attainment.
