- Class Description:
- This course explores population dynamics in global perspective. Students will learn major population theories and measures. We will closely examine the ways in which people enter and leave populations -- by birth, death, or migration. We will explore societal differences in these phenomena and investigate their causes and consequences. In particular, we will explore differences in the population situations in highly developed and less developed nations, and differences between subgroups within societies. Within-country differences in population processes exist along gender, race, and social class lines. Key population policies will be discussed.
