Social Demography Seminar with Rita Hamad

Rita Hamad, MD, PhD, associate professor of social and behavioral sciences, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, presents “Impacts of pandemic-era food assistance policies on health and health equity.”

The Social Demography Seminar (SDS) series at the Center for Population and Development Studies provides a lively forum for scholars from across the university to discuss in-progress social scientific and population research. Social demography includes work that uses demographic methods to describe and explain the distribution of social goods across populations. The hybrid series offers presentations on a wide variety of topics such as family, gender, race/ethnicity, population health—including mortality, morbidity, and functional health—inequality, immigration, fertility, and the institutional arrangements that shape and respond to population processes.
