Credit: istock.com/jacoblund Article intro text reads:CPC and CG researchers have been highly active this year, contributing to international conferences throughout spring and summer. Here is just a small selection of their activities. In July, CPC-CG supported the 29th Annual Postgraduate Population Studies Conference (PopFest) at the University of Southampton. Organised by PhD students Parth Pandya (University of St Andrews), Izzi Carter (LSE), Clara Girault and Sai Joshi (University of Southampton), the event featured keynote talks from Professor Jane Falkingham and Dr Antonino Polizzi. Delegates joined from across the international population studies community. Lekshmi Prasannan Reeba (LSE) won the poster prize for her work on women’s empowerment and fertility intentions in India.
In the new #ChangingPopulations, catch up on CPC-CG members' conference activities and get links to our webinar videos (sections 11, 13)
And find out about our upcoming events in section 2. Next stops: @rgsibg.bsky.social and @bspsuk.bsky.social conferences 🥳
