DemSemX is a cross-center virtual collaboration among population research centers at 8 universities (Bowling Green, Cornell, Michigan, Minnesota, Penn State, Texas, UCLA and UW-Madison), designed to enhance scholarly interaction and graduate training across institutions. Together, we aim to take advantage of new virtual technologies and economies of scale to provide opportunities for scholarly interaction and training across our 8 centers. We especially hope to provide opportunities for students to present and get feedback on their work and to interact with other emerging and established scholars from these centers.
Join us this Friday, May 29, 2020, 2-4pm ET, for an inaugural DemSemX:
The first hour (2-3pm ET) will be a plenary session, where Wendy D. Manning and Elizabeth Wrigley-Field will each present and field questions on their new plans underway for conducting COVID-19 responsive research. Link to this session is here.
The second hour (3-4pm ET) will have breakout rooms for student presentations, hosted by each of the 8 universities. Two students per room will briefly present their research, and two faculty per room will provide feedback and guide discussion. You are welcome to join any of the breakout rooms (or move between them). Click here for the flyer with details and links to connect.

Social, institutional, and political factors generate enormous inequalities in health and health-producing behaviors by race, class, gender, ethnicity, and other social cleavages. The goals of the conference are to support and disseminate innovative approaches to understanding the social determinants of health and health-producing behaviors, and to identify the policy levers through which they might be mitigated.
The participants are leading academics from within and outside of Cornell and from multiple disciplines, including sociology, economics, public policy, and public health.

Last year, CPC supported the following conference with generous sponsorship from the Frank H. T. Rhodes Annual Symposium Fund.
Criminalizing Immigrants: Border Controls, Enforcement, and Resistance, November 9-10, 2017, Cornell University. This conference examined the causes and consequences of the criminalization of immigration, drawing on empirical projects from around the globe. It was organized by CPC affiliates Filiz Garip (Sociology), Shannon Gleeson (ILR), and Matthew Hall (Policy Analysis and Management).
The “criminalization” of immigration through more restrictive immigration policies and stricter enforcement of existing policies affects migrants and their families, communities, and labor markets in sending and receiving nations. Topics included the impact of immigration enforcement on economic well-being and community cohesion; the responses of migrants, their families, and employers to increased efforts to detain and deport migrants; new patterns of inequality that emerge from greater enforcement; and state, municipal, and “third sector” responses to the changing needs of immigrant communities affected by detention and deportation.
