Past Population Research Exchange Seminars
The Population Research Exchange (PRX) series delivers timely information on population science research and resources in a variety of formats. Each week features a different topic/theme by way of a special event, seminar, work-in-progress, mini methods workshop, resource information session, etc. Affiliated faculty members, students, and researchers share their current and future work, and some weeks we welcome guests who present on important resources available to Harvard scholars. In a true “exchange” format, lively dialogue and interchange occurs among attendees.
