Previously\, I was an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the Ohio State University (2020-2023) and a postdoctoral associate at the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University (2019-2020). I earned my PhD in Sociology from Duke University in 2019. \nMy research focuses on culture & cognition and inequality & stratification. Specifically\, I use a cognitive approach to culture in order to understand how people form diverse beliefs and perceptions about important stratifying institutions in society — like discrimination\, occupations\, social movements\, and schools and universities — to show how these beliefs and perceptions in turn shape inequality. My work employs a wide variety of methodological approaches\, including survey-experiments\, interviews\, and analysis of secondary survey and administrative data. \nMy work has been published in American Sociological Review\, Social Forces\, Poetics\, and Social Problems\, among other outlets. Findings from these studies have been covered in U.S. News & World Report\, Inside Higher Ed\, and The Hechinger Report.

These include new models to analyze longitudinal data\, creative approaches to analyzing difficult-to-measure concepts\, and developing estimators that have greater robustness to the approximate nature of our models. He also is working on comparing and integrating different approaches to causal inference. Population studies\, health\, and trauma are the contexts within which he develops these methods while also addressing practical substantive questions. \nKen Bollen’s research focuses on creating new statistical tools that have applications across a wide range of population areas. Many of these tools are developed within the field of latent variable structural equation models (SEMs). SEMs formulate systems of equations\, allow multiple “dependent” variables with mediation effects\, and take account of the measurement error commonly found in population-related variables. Collaborating with a number of CPC fellows\, postdocs\, and graduate trainees\, Bollen has applied SEMs to topics such as evaluating the use of birth weight\, gestational age\, and birth length as measures of a mother’s fetal conditions\, assessing the measurement properties of self-rated health and depression measures\, evaluating the quality of physiological measures from surveys\, and analyzing the effects of SES on fertility. Many of these projects have utilized CPC-based data such as those from Add Health and the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey.

She is especially interested in two broad issues: (1) these institutional intersections as sites of (re)production and moderation of social disparities in wellbeing and (2) the role that these policy institutions play in shaping and racializing our definitions and experiences of family and familial relationships and the life stages of childhood and the transition to adulthood. \nHer current research projects use a combination of administrative and survey data to explore the unequal distribution of child welfare and criminal legal system involvement across social groups and space as well as the relationship between this unequal distribution of policy system contact and disparities in health. She has published her work in peer-reviewed journals including the American Journal of Public Health\, Journal of Marriage and Family\, Population and Development Review\, and Social Forces. \n  URL:https://www.cpc.unc.edu/event/youngmin-min-yi/ LOCATION:Carolina Square Room 2002\, 123 W.

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.

Richard Udry Distinguished Lecture will be presented by Steven Ruggles\, the Regents Professor of History and Director of the Minnesota Population Center at the University of Minnesota. \nTitle: “It’s None of Their Damn Business”: Privacy and Disclosure Control in the U.S. Census\, 1790-2022 \nAbstract: \nThe U.S. Census Bureau is implementing new methods of disclosure control that will reduce the usability of publicly accessible population data. To understand the rationale for the cutbacks in access to data\, we must grapple with the history of privacy concerns surrounding the census and the government’s response to those concerns. This paper traces the history of privacy and disclosure control since the first U.S. census in 1790. We argue that controlling public access to census information has never been an effective response to public concerns about government intrusion. We conclude that the Census Bureau should weigh the costs of curtailing access to reliable data against realistic measures of the benefit of new approaches to disclosure control. \n\n\n\n\nBiography from PAA: “Steve is best known as the creator of the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS)\, the world’s largest population database\, spanning two centuries and 100 countries. Steve’s lifelong addiction to data began early. By age eight\, he was coding data for a penny a case for his parents\, economists Richard and Nancy Ruggles. Leaving home brought no escape; as an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin\, Steve became interested in historical demography and joined the Center for Demography and Ecology. Steve went on to graduate school in history at the University of Pennsylvania\, where Sam Preston showed up bearing the brand-new 1900 Public Use Sample that became the centerpiece of Steve’s dissertation (as well as of his moving article\, “Confessions of a Micro-Simulator”). After receiving his Ph.D.in 1984\, Steve returned to Wisconsin as a postdoc. While at Penn and Wisconsin\, Steve observed planning and production for two major historical census projects directed by Preston and Hal Winsborough. This exposure to like-minded data enthusiasts sealed his scholarly fate. \nWhen Steve arrived at the University of Minnesota\, he partnered with Russell Menard to obtain funding from NIH and NSF to create samples of the 1850 and 1880 censuses. By 1991\, public use microdata files existed for eight U.S. census years between 1880 and 1980\, potentially allowing consistent analysis of long-run demographic change. Steve was awarded a grant to make a compatible version of all these datasets and the IPUMS was born. To make IPUMS possible\, Steve designed several significant innovations\, including the first metadata-based data integration system (1991) and the first interactive website for large scale data dissemination (1995). \nIn 1999\, when the U.S. census series was nearly complete\, Steve and his colleagues expanded IPUMS beyond U.S. census data to include international microdata and data from the Current Population Survey. IPUMS data integration technology underlies other large-scale projects\, including the Integrated Health Interview Series (IHIS) and the Integrated Demographic and Health Series (IDHS). In 2001\, Steve and John Adams received an NSF grant to create the National Historical Geographic Information System (NHGIS)\, a comprehensive source for aggregate statistical data and geographic data describing spatial characteristics of the U.S. population from 1790 to the present. Steve and collaborators are now working on Terra Populus\, which integrates global data on population and the environment over the past two centuries. The newest project is “Big Microdata\,” which aims to develop complete microdata for all U.S. censuses between 1790 and 1940\, covering 700 million persons. He is also working with the Census Bureau to convert Census Bureau internal microdata to IPUMS format and to link the historical census data to modern censuses\, surveys\, and administrative records. \nSteve’s contributions to demography are not solely the data infrastructure that underlies so much scholarship in our field. His own research focuses on historical family demography\, especially on long-run changes in intergenerational co-residence\, single parenthood\, divorce\, and marriage. In a book and more than 30 articles\, he has analyzed the impact of demographic and economic change on family composition\, marriage\, and divorce. He has consistently taken positions at odds with the conventional wisdom. For example\, Steve argued that Early Modern England did not have a nuclear family system\, that family reconstitutions studies are systematically biased by migration censoring\, and that divorce risk in the U.S. has risen substantially since 1980. Departing from cultural interpretations of family change\, Steve argues that families in developed countries were transformed by industrialization and the rise of wage labor\, first among men and then among women. \nSteve is also the founding Director of the Minnesota Population Center. The Center was established in 2000 with 20 members and a small grant from the University of Minnesota. Shortly thereafter\, Steve submitted a successful proposal for a R24 center grant from NICHD. MPC has grown to serve 95 population researchers from 10 colleges and 26 departments at the University of Minnesota—and more than 70\,000 researchers worldwide who use MPC data. \nSteve has been recognized for his service to the field and his academic accomplishments by American Sociological Association\, Social Science History Association\, the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research\, and the PAA. Steve was honored to serve as the President of the PAA in 2015.” URL:https://www.cpc.unc.edu/event/udry-lecture-steve-ruggles/ LOCATION:Pleasants Family Assembly Room\, Wilson Library\, 200 South Road\, Chapel Hill\, NC\, 27515\, United States CATEGORIES:J.
