I am a South African born and bred demographer, trained at the LSHTM, and returned to take up a post at the University of Cape Town in 2002. My interests lie primarily in the fields of demographic estimation (I was PI on the project to update UN Manual X, now available at demographicestimation.iussp.org); fertility transition; and the interface between sociology, race and demography.
I have presented papers at each of the last four IUSSP General Population Conferences (2001; 2005; 2009; 2013); attended and presented papers at IUSSP seminars related to my areas of academic interest; acted as a rapporteur for an IUSSP meeting on demographic training in the developing world in Amsterdam 2009
