Who is allowed to live, and who is allowed to die? Population offers an introduction to demography from a social, historical, and critical perspective. The field of population studies integrates theory and methods from anthropology, ecology, economics, epidemiology, philosophy, sociology, and statistics (among other disciplines). This course surveys intellectual history in core subjects of demography (mortality, fertility, migration), introduces basic quantitative methods of formal demography, and concludes with discussion of contemporary issues.
