Early Career Researcher Symposium
An IUSSP side event of the 2024 Asian Population Association Conference
Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu City, Nepal
26 November 2024
Deadline to apply to present: 25 August
Deadline to participate (no presentation): 3 November
The IUSSP Panel on Early Career Perspectives (ECP) is organizing an Early Career Researcher symposium at the 2024 Asian Population Association Conference in Kathmandu City, Nepal. The format of the symposium is flash sessions. The main objective of the symposium is to create a safe and welcoming environment where early career researchers can share their work (or work-in-progress) and thoughts with their peers, network, and get ready for the main APA conference. The submission does not have to be an accepted paper/poster in the APA conference. This will be an opportunity to present without worries!
The ECP panel at IUSSP establishes a worldwide forum catering to emerging scholars in population studies, encompassing individuals at various stages of their academic journey, such as master's and Ph.D students, postdoctoral fellows, early-career academics, as well as alternative academics. This platform facilitates connections, engagement, and mutual learning among these individuals. Recognizing the obstacles faced by early career researchers, the ECP panel endeavours to offer a platform that encourages global participation, fosters cross-cultural dialogues, and ensures more equitable access to expertise and methodological integration.
All fields of demography and population studies are welcomed, as well as all related areas of social sciences. Theoretical as well as empirical papers in, but not limited to, the following topics are encouraged:
- Family and kinship
- Health and morbidity
- Internal/international migration
- Fertility
- Mortality
- Population and environment
- Life course
- Population inequalities
- Population structure and transition
- Ageing
- Mobility
- Methodological approaches in demography and population sciences
