- Class Description:
Populations are made up of people whose lives are changing all the time: growing up; moving around; having kids; gaining and losing jobs and spouses; entering and leaving schools and prisons; getting sick; and dying.
This course covers population modeling techniques from the demographic tradition, organized around these kinds of life changes. These techniques excel at describing social and epidemiological changes occurring along multiple time scales simultaneously; identifying the inequalities lurking beneath population averages; relating multiple dimensions of population structure; and figuring out what population a research question is really about.
The course assumes no prior knowledge of demography and will cover a range of applications from across the social and health sciences.
- Who Should Take This Class?:
- Graduate students from any discipline that uses mathematical modeling of human population outcomes, especially those related to social stratification, health, inequality, and families. No prior mathematical background is assumed.
