BIARI 2012 "Population and Development: New Approaches to Enduring Global Problems"
In the year when the world’s population officially passed seven billion, this Institute will address the crucial and interlinked issues of population and development, particularly as they affect people in the global south. Participants will engage with cutting-edge theory, tested and innovative research methods, and examples of first-rate scholarship upon which to build their own research programs.
What are the most significant population issues in the 21st century? How do population dynamics and the policies designed to address them contribute to—or detract from—equitable development? How can theories and methods in the social sciences contribute to understanding the relationship between population and development, and how can this scholarship contribute to better policies and programs?
Bringing together academics and policy-makers from multiple disciplines whose work addresses such questions, this Institute aims to establish a dynamic network of scholars, creating prospects for collaborative and comparative research and offering opportunities for rich intellectual exchange and joint publications
