Internal Migration as a Driver of Regional Population Change in Europe: Updating Ravenstein (Deadline: 3/29/2019). We invite submissions to a Special Issue of the Journal on: Internal Migration as a Driver of Regional Population Change in Europe: Updating Ravenstein. The aim of the special issue is to present new findings and insights into the role of migration in the development of the populations of cities and regions in Europe. Migration, within a country, between European states and between Europe and the Rest of the World, is playing an increasingly important role in shaping population in the settlement system. Recent research has revealed a growing divergence of trends in population growth and age structure across cities and regions.. For more information, visit: https://csde.washington.edu/

Traversing Divides: Interdisciplinary Research in Population Health and Health Disparities, October 1, 2019 9:30 AM- 5:00 PM, Sheraton Seattle Hotel, Seattle, Washington. This one-day workshop will provide an orientation to the value of interdisciplinary collaboration, challenges inherent in interdisciplinary work, and skills and resources that facilitate interdisciplinary success in population health science. Workshop participants will engage with leading population health and interdisciplinary scholars in interactive group exercises and case studies with a focus on the combining the knowledge, theory, and methods of diverse fields to understand and address health disparities. The workshop is open to scientists training and/or working in any field that contributes knowledge, at one or more levels of analysis (from the molecular to the societal and environmental), relevant to understanding the causes of health disparities and/or the ways in which health disparities can be ameliorated. Students who have completed at least two years of post-baccalaureate training in a specific discipline and early career scientists are especially encouraged to apply, but individuals at all career stages are welcome. Workshop enrollment is limited to facilitate the success of small-group activities. Applications will be accepted through May 5, 2019. Applicants will be notified by the end of June. Funding to defray travel costs will be available on a limited basis.. For more information, visit: https://iaphs.org/tools-for-
