Summer workshop in historical demography, July 20-August 14 in Ann - Arbor, Michigan

Dear S4 Members,

For information:

Longitudinal Analysis of Historical Demographic Data Workshop, supported by an NICHD Science Education Partnership Award and the ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research.  This  4-week course will be held from July 20-August 14 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.*  Applications are competitive, with a deadline of May 4.  Stipends of from 0 to ,000 will be awarded to most participants.

The course emphasizes applications of life histories to problems in historical and contemporary research; practical applications using actual historical databases; and methodological issues such as censoring and incomplete information. This event history course includes daily lectures, statistical training, and database management by leading historical demographers in a hands-on dedicated computer lab.  We work with historical data drawn from European, North American, and Asian populations.  Participants design and complete a short research project during the course.  Posters and papers from the research projects have been presented at SSHA, ESSHC and PAA.

More information is available on our website  http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/sumprog/historical-demography.html, where there is also a print-ready flyer advertising the course www.icpsr.umich.edu/sumprog/historical-demography/LAHDD Flyer 2009.pdf.  Please forward this message to any students or colleagues who would benefit from learning advanced methods in demographic analysis.

Sincerely,

George Alter,
