Harvard Pop Center Social Demography Seminar: “Why have mortality rates become increasingly unequal across U.S. counties?”
Jennifer Karas Montez, PhD, University Professor of Sociology, Syracuse University, presents “Why have mortality rates become increasingly unequal across U.S. counties?”
The Social Demography Seminar (SDS) series at the Center for Population and Development Studies provides a lively forum for scholars from across the university to discuss in-progress social scientific and population research. Social demography includes work that uses demographic methods to describe and explain the distribution of social goods across populations. The hybrid series offers presentations on a wide variety of topics such as family, gender, race/ethnicity, population health—including mortality, morbidity, and functional health—inequality, immigration, fertility, and the institutional arrangements that shape and respond to population processes.
