- Class Description:
Students in this workshop will serve as the graduate student board for The Society Pages, an online social science journalism project housed at the University of Minnesota. Participation is based on application. In addition to experience and qualifications, the board is selected so as to involve students from different stages in the program, substantive interest areas, and methodological specialties. Most participants are expected to make a year-long commitment to the project, though membership will rotate on an annual basis.
- Who Should Take This Class?:
- Graduate students in sociology
- Learning Objectives:
To deepen students' substantive research expertise
by engaging cutting edge sociological scholarship. Students will unearth the most interesting findings and best evidence from new research in their areas of study. This provides students with a broader vision of the sociological field and offers an opportunity to diversify their reading in the prelim and dissertation processes.
To develop writing and communication skills
in addressing academic and non-academic audiences. Grad board members regularly write for the website, and our supportive, professional editorial team gives direct feedback designed to improve these skills as the pieces are published online.
To gain deep, practical appreciation of the process of editorial decision-making
and public scholarship.

- Class Description:
- This course provides a graduate-level treatment of major theoretical and empirical debates in demographic research on migration and migrants, and considers questions such as: i) why people migrate (or not) and how migration decisions are made; ii) the effects of migration in sending and receiving societies, iii) the role of the state, including migration and integration policies, iv) the effects of migration on migrants themselves, including linking to debates on assimilation, integration and social exclusion, and v) measuring and modeling migration in empirical research. Although this course comes with "demographic" in the title and fulfills one of the seminar requirements for graduate trainees and the population studies minor at the Minnesota Population Center, as the above questions make clear, it is necessarily much broader in scope, and draws from quantitative and qualitative research in economics, demography, human geography, history, political science, population health, public policy, and sociology.
