Population Studies Workshop

James Raymo speaks in a classroom

The Population Studies Workshop aims to foster scholarly exchange on key issues in demography, population health, social statistics, survey methodology, and population economics — broadly defined. The series features prominent external speakers from leading institutions who conduct cutting-edge research across disciplines, including sociology, economics, public health, political science, statistics, and related fields. 

The series engages a wide array of Yale scholars, including faculty, students, and researchers from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Yale School of Public Health, Yale School of Medicine, Yale Law School, Yale School of Nursing, Yale School of the Environment, and Yale School of Management.

The workshop meets on selected Mondays and Fridays from noon to 1:15 PM in Room A002 at 77 Prospect Street. Lunch will be provided.
