Friday, October 9, 12 PM – 1:30 PM The Population Centers of the University of California – newly dubbed UCPop – is pleased to announce its inaugural (remote) meeting, “Race and Inequality: A Collaborative UCPop Event.” Keynote talk: “Demography of Race: The Propaganda of Demography” by Tukufu Zuberi, Lasry Family Professor of Race Relations, and Professor of Sociology and Africana Studies, University of Pennsylvania.
Call for graduate-student presenters: Graduate associates of one of the four UC population/demography centers are invited to submit proposals for a 10-minute research presentation related to race and inequality. Two student presenters will be selected from each center (UC Berkeley, UCSB, UCLA and UCI). Presentations will be grouped thematically into four parallel breakout sessions that will follow the keynote talk. Student presenters will have the opportunity to suggest faculty “respondents” from other UC population centers. Based on these suggestions, UCPop will invite faculty respondents to provide feedback during the breakout sessions. Interested graduate associates should submit titles and abstracts (or extended abstracts) of their research projects, and provide names of 2-3 faculty members from other UC population centers centers who might be invited to serve as respondents. This information should be submitted to local center directors by Tuesday, September 15, as follows:
UC Berkeley: Josh Goldstein, josh.goldstein@berkeley.edu
UC Santa Barbara: Maria Charles, mcharles@soc.ucsb.edu
UC Los Angeles: Jennie E. Brand, brand@Soc.ucla.edu
UC Irvine: Tim Bruckner, tim.bruckner@uci.edu or David Neumark, dneumark@uci.edu

In sessions addressing these three broad domains of parent-child separation, speakers from multiple disciplines will consider the societal factors that have given rise to increasing numbers of children and youth who are experiencing separation and the implications of separation for their well-being. Speakers will also highlight the implications of their research for evidence-based programs and policies that foster youth and family resilience. The virtual symposium is free.
