Research Projects at the PSTC
Research at the PSTC is innovative and interdisciplinary. It is distinguished by its commitment to collaboration across disciplinary and institutional boundaries as well as its strong portfolio of research in developing country settings. The scope of PSTC research encompasses both traditional topics of interest to demographers, such as fertility, mortality, and migration, as well as a much broader range of issues, including environmental change, health (including living with disability and studies of nutrition), gender, family structure, schooling, segregation, and the consequences of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Five signature themes characterize our substantive research areas. Each link below leads to a list of some of the current projects in that area, organized by faculty member's last name:
Spatial Inquiry
Fertility and HIV/AIDS
Families and Households
Social Behavior and Health
Population and Environment
