SUMMARY:CANCELED: J. Richard Udry Distinguished Lecture: Teresa Seeman: Aging Trajectories Through Biopsychosocial Lens
DESCRIPTION:Update: This lecture has been canceled. We will update the website with more information shortly. \nThe J. Richard Udry Distinguished Lecture will be held on March 5\, 2020\, 3:30-5:00 pm. \nTeresa Seeman\, PhD\, will present “Aging Trajectories Through Biopsychosocial Lens.” Seeman is Professor of Epidemiology at the Fielding School of Public Health and of Medicine in the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Trained as an epidemiologist\, with post-doctoral training in neuroendocrinology\, her research interests are inter-disciplinary\, focusing on role of social and psychological factors in health and aging\, with particular interest in elucidating the biological pathways through which such factors impact on health. \nWorking in both community- and laboratory-based contexts\, her work has documented the widespread health effects of protective social factors (e.g.\, social relationships) and psychological characteristics (e.g.\, control beliefs\, perceptions of self-efficacy)\, including effects on risks for physical and cognitive decline as well as overall longevity. Her research has also contributed to our understanding of how these social and psychological influences are mediated through multiple major biological regulatory systems. She has been a leader in empirical research on a multi-systems view of biological risk – allostatic load. \nHer work has shown that levels of allostatic load predict subsequent health outcomes\, and that differences in allostatic load are related to social factors\, including levels of social integration and support as well as more traditional measures of socio-economic status [SES]: higher allostatic load seen among those reporting less social integration and/or support and lower SES. Her current research is focused on developing more integrated models that incorporate consideration of life-course experiences with stressful and protective conditions and the cumulative impacts of these experiences on major biological regulatory systems that determine trajectories of health and longevity. \nAbstract: \nThe presentation will examine evidence linking socio-economic and socio-emotional life-histories to trajectories of aging with explicit attention to the multiple biological pathways involved in these relationships.  Taking a life-course perspective\, illustrative examples of the patterning of these relationships across the life-course will be reviewed.  Evidence of later-life plasticity of psychosocial and biological influences will be highlighted\, illustrating the potential for health promotion via psychosocial interventions even at later ages. \nAbout the annual J. Richard Udry Distinguished Lecture Series:  Dick Udry’s research was highly innovative and interdisciplinary—features that he embedded in the Carolina Population Center’s practices and culture as its Director. In recognition of his enduring contributions\, CPC named its distinguished lecture series in his honor. Previous presenters have included Dr. Lisa Berkman\, the Director of the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies\, the Director of Harvard’s PhD program in Population Health Sciences\, and the Thomas D. Cabot Professor of Public Policy\, Epidemiology\, and Global Health and Population (2019);  Dr. Douglas Massey\, Professor of Sociology at Princeton University (2018) and Dr. John Bongaarts\, Vice President and Distinguished Scholar of the Population Council (2017).

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Chantel Martin: Embodying Place: Neighborhood Environment and Health Disparities
DESCRIPTION:This event has been canceled. We will update this page when it’s rescheduled.  \nOn March 20\, 2020\, Chantel Martin\, a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, will present “Embodying Place: Neighborhood Environment and Health Disparities” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2019-2020 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. Martin is also a Postdoctoral Scholar at CPC.\nChantel Martin is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Epidemiology and the Carolina Population Center at UNC Chapel Hill. As an epidemiologist\, her interdisciplinary research program combines methods and models from social science\, biology\, and life course epidemiology to understand the impact of the social environment during sensitive periods of development on racial/ethnic disparities in cardiometabolic health disparities; and elucidate the biological underpinnings that link the social environment to health disparities. Her research is currently supported by an NIH K99/R00 Pathways to Independence Award and the NIMHD Social Epigenomics Research Focused on Minority Health and Health Disparities program. Chantel received her PhD in Epidemiology from UNC Chapel Hill and her MSPH from UNC Charlotte. Her talk will explore the association of the neighborhood social environment with cardiometabolic health across the life course and introduce potential biological mechanisms that may partially explain these associations. \nWe record as many videos as possible. You can see previous events here. \nInstructors: To arrange for class attendance\, contact CPC (cpc@unc.edu) by the Monday before the seminar.  \nThe Carolina Population Center hosts a weekly Friday lecture on a topic that enhances our understanding of population-related changes. The 2019-2020 Interdisciplinary Research Seminars will feature talks related to aging trajectories\, health behavior\, the Zika virus\, and the beverage tax – among other topics. \nAll seminars are held from 12:00 – 1:00 pm in Carolina Square Room 2002 at 123 W. Franklin St. unless otherwise indicated.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Becky Pettit: Illusions of Justice: Crime and Punishment in a Model Reform State
DESCRIPTION:This event has been canceled. We will update as soon as we can reschedule for later this year. \nOn March 27\, 2020\, Becky Pettit\, the Barbara Pierce Bush Regents Professorship of Liberal Arts\, University of Texas at Austin\, will present “Illusions of Justice: Crime and Punishment in a Model Reform State” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2019-2020 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nBecky Pettit is the Barbara Pierce Bush Regents Professor of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a sociologist\, trained in demographic methods\, with interests in social inequality broadly defined.  She is the author of two books and numerous articles which have appeared in the American Sociological Review\, the American Journal of Sociology\, Demography\, Social Problems\, Social Forces and other journals. Her book\, Invisible Men: Mass Incarceration and the Myth of Black Progress (Russell Sage Foundation 2012)\, investigates how decades of growth in America’s prisons and jails obscures basic accounts of racial inequality.  Her first book\, co-authored with Jennifer Hook of the University of Southern California\, Gendered Tradeoffs: Family\, Social Policy\, and Economic Inequality in Twenty-One Countries (Russell Sage Foundation 2009) was selected as a Noteworthy Book in Industrial Relations and Labor Economics in 2010. \nPettit has been the recipient of many honors and awards.  Her paper “Black-White Wage Inequality\, Employment Rates\, and Incarceration” (with Bruce Western of Columbia University) received the James Short paper award from the American Sociological Association Crime\, Law\, and Deviance Section.  Another paper “Mass Imprisonment and the Life Course:  Race and Class Inequality in U.S. Incarceration” (with Western) received Honorable Mention from the American Sociological Association Sociology of Law Section Article Prize Committee.  A related paper (also with Hook) was a finalist for the 2006 Rosabeth Moss Kanter Award for Excellence in Work-Family Research.  She was elected to membership in the Sociological Research Association in 2018. \nPettit has been a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation\, Northwestern University\, and the American Bar Foundation\, and was a recipient of a mentored research development award (K01) from the National Institutes of Health (NICHD) for her work on “Institutionalizing Inequality:  Gender\, Work and Family.”  Pettit’s research has been featured in the New York Times\, the Wall Street Journal\, the Washington Post\, MSNBC\, and numerous other media outlets.  She has been invited to speak at the White House\, the Congressional Budget Office\, the Department of Health and Human Services\, the U.S. Census Bureau\, and many colleges and universities. \nProfessor Pettit teaches courses on social inequality\, methods\, and statistics.  She edited Social Problems\, the official journal of the Society of the Study of Social Problems\, from 2011-2014. She holds a Ph.D. in sociology from Princeton University and a B.A. in sociology from University of California at Berkeley. \nPresentation Abstract: \nAbstract:  Two decades of crime declines in the United States and significant and sustained policy attention to criminal justice reform has led some observers to suggest that the U.S. is reconsidering its experiment in mass incarceration.  Most Americans are at the lowest risk of victimization in a generation and some states\, like Texas\, have attracted outsized attention for reform efforts to reduce the number of people held in state prisons and jails\, decrease sentence lengths and time served\, and offer community-based supervision and non-custodial sanctions.  However\, and despite significant rhetoric of criminal justice reform\, incarceration and criminal justice contact in the United States more broadly – and the Lonestar state specifically – remains historically and comparatively high.  Texas sanctions more people each year through the criminal justice system than live in Wyoming\, Vermont\, North Dakota\, Alaska\, South Dakota\, Delaware\, and Montana combined.  In this paper\, I examine whether and how contemporary criminal justice policy in Texas influences exposure to the criminal justice system.  I consider how recent reforms in criminal justice policy and practice impact different demographic groups\, influence accounts of inequality\, and align with principles of justice. \nWe record as many videos as possible.
