PopFest 2008 — 25-27 June

University of Manchester

POPFEST is an established annual population studies conference organised by postgraduates for postgraduates with the aim of providing a relaxed and supportive environment for students to come together to present work and discuss ideas. The three day event provides a valuable forum for postgraduate students studying population in the areas of Demography, Human Geography, Social Anthropology, Social Statistics, Health, Development, Social Policy and other related fields.

The plenary speaker this year will be Professor Danny Dorling of the University of Sheffield who will be presenting on an aspect of his work about poverty and inequalities.

We would like to welcome anyone whose work involves contemplating population, in any context. Current subjects include migration, ageing and disability, older women's employment, segregation and integration and producing population projections. The conference is not limited to these themes however.
