Anthro 4253 - Researching Fertility, Mortality, and Migration

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

Students undertake research projects centering on the most fundamental demographic processes-fertility, mortality, and migration. The first section covers basic demographic methodology so that students understand how population data is generated and demographic statistics analyzed. Then, course readings include seminal theoretical insights by anthropologists on demographic processes. Meanwhile, students work toward the completion of a term paper in which they are expected to undertake some original research on a topic of their choice (e.g., new reproductive technologies; cross-cultural adoption; ethnicity and migration). Each assignment in this course is a component of the final term paper.
