Special ICPSR Summer Program, July 23-August 17, 2007
Learn Advanced Methods in Demographic Analysis
Announcing the Second Special ICPSR Summer Program Course in Longitudinal Analysis of Historical Demographic Data
July 23–August 17, 2007
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Application deadline: April 27, 2007.
Historical demography is an interdisciplinary field with a long history of important contributions to population studies and to the understanding of the past. This research has revealed a great deal about fundamental demographic processes such as household and family dynamics, the transition to smaller family units, pre- and post-industrial population dynamics, the demographic transition, migration patterns, and demographic responses to economic stress. This 4-week course will emphasize the use of event history analysis and data management of historical databases drawn from European, North American, and Asian populations. Longitudinal data will be employed to construct time-varying covariates and contextual variables for individuals, families, and households. Methodological issues such as censoring and incomplete information will also be addressed. For more information about the course, visit our website at www.icpsr.umich.edu/sumprog/historical-demography.html.
Application deadline: April 27, 2007.
Applications are competitive. Participants will be selected on the basis of their interest in the topical areas, prior methodological training, and potential for research contributions that promote longitudinal analysis. Participants should be familiar with quantitative methods, including regression analysis. Those who need preparation in statistics are advised to attend quantitative courses during the June–July session of the ICPSR Summer Program. A limited number of stipends (between $500 and $2,000 US) will be awarded to cover travel and other expenses. For those admitted to the workshop, no fee will be charged to attend the Longitudinal Analysis course. On-line applications begin in February at www.icpsr.umich.edu/sumprog, or visit us at the ICPSR booth at the PAA meetings in NYC.
Instructors:
George Alter, Indiana University
Cameron Campbell, University of California at Los Angeles
Glenn Deane, State University of New York at Albany
Myron P. Gutmann, University of Michigan
