The Carolina Population Center is pleased to announce the first annual Symposium on Biosocial Approaches to Population Health Across the Life Course.

The goal of the Symposium is to stimulate novel opportunities for biosocial health research by developing a scientific forum that provides an opportunity for emerging scholars to present research and facilitate the integration of social and biological/health approaches for addressing the complex health concerns of today.

Our keynote speaker will be Bridget Goosby, PhD, Professor of Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Goosby will present "It Takes a Village: What Interdisciplinarity and Biosocial Methods Tell us about Health Disparties."

The annual Demography Daze event (a collaboration between the Carolina Population Center and Duke University Population Research Institute) will be held in the afternoon.

To attend the Symposuim, you must register no later than Wednesday, May 8, 2019.
