2026 Reproductive Demography Workshop
Colorado Fertility Project and CUPC
Boulder, Colorado and online, 11-13 November 2026

 

  • Application deadline: 18 September 2026

The Colorado Fertility Project and CUPC are pleased to announce a workshop for graduate students and early-career researchers who are newer to the field of reproductive health and committed to advancing the social science of abortion in the U.S. using demographic methods.

 

Amanda Stevenson and Leslie Root will lead the workshop, advised by Jane Menken. The target audience for this workshop has a strong quantitative background, some familiarity with demography, and relatively little experience working with abortion data.

 

The workshop will feature: 

  • training in demographic methods that can be applied to abortion enumeration research
  • talks by leading scholars presenting exciting new directions in demographic research on abortion
  • opportunities to engage in scholarly community through a workshop Slack and virtual follow-up meetings where small groups of participants can develop and present research

Space for the workshop is limited. For full consideration, please submit this application on this FORM by Friday, September 18th. We will email applicants with decisions by Friday, September 25th. 

 

Please address questions to Tara K. Streng-Schroeter, Ph.D. (streng.schroeter@colorado.edu ).
