June 7-21, 2014

THEME: Population and Development: New Approaches to Enduring Global Problems



From June 7-21, 2014, Brown University (in Providence, RI, USA) will host an international
residential institute designed to enhance the scholarship, research, methodological
skills, training, and networks of early-career social scientists from less developed
countries. Participants will receive tailored feedback on their research ideas and will
meet and interact with more than 20 of the world's leaders in population and development
studies over the course of the 2-week institute. In addition to providing cutting-edge and
personalized training, this institute aims to help foster collaborations between the
Global North and Global South, as well as among scholars from different developing regions
across the world.

This Institute is part of Brown University’s International Advanced Research Institutes
initiative (BIARI), which brings together young faculty and professionals from around the
world to address pressing global issues through innovative research and pedagogy. Thanks
to generous support from Santander Universities, all the costs of tuition, food and
accommodation (in university housing) during BIARI, will be paid by the institute.

Please forward this announcement to your collaborators, colleagues, advanced PhD students,
and other appropriate networks of scholars from the Global South who work in the area of
Population and Development, to encourage them to apply.



Review of applications begins -- December 16, 2013.

description of the Population and Development Institute. Please feel free
to contactbiari at brown.edu with any questions.



Population and Development: New Approaches to Enduring Global Problems

With the world’s population officially surpassing 7 billion, this institute will address
the crucial and interlinked issues of population and development, particularly as they
affect people in the Global South. What are the most significant population issues in the
21st century? How do population dynamics and the policies designed to address them
contribute to or detract from equitable development? How can theories and methods in the
social sciences contribute to understanding the relationship between population and
development, and how can this scholarship contribute to better policies and programs?
Participants will engage with cutting-edge theory, innovative and tested research methods,
and first-rate scholarship upon which to build their own research programs.
