About the Center
The ASU Center for Population Dynamics is a transdisciplinary and transdepartmental
unit that facilitates professional growth and collaboration of on-campus
and off-campus researchers and students interested in population matters.
The CePoD affiliates represent a broad range of disciplines and professional
backgrounds, conceptual and methodological approaches, and geographic
foci. CePoD promotes scholarly collaborative research and training
in demography at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. The Center
brings together faculty and students from diverse academic backgrounds
including Sociology, Family and Human Development, and Geography.
The Center’s two signature themes—migration and immigration
and population health—reflect the historically shaped interests
and strengths of most CePoD affiliated faculty as well as the recognized
strengths of other ASU units. The specific contours of these themes are
continuously redefined to accommodate diverse interests of faculty members
in various units on ASU’s four campuses and to absorb novel, multi-
and interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological perspectives that
these faculty members bring to population-focused research. Among a number
of innovative cross-cutting approaches to population dynamics that CePoD
promotes, two are of particular import—the environmental perspective
and the social network perspective. In prioritizing the environment and
social networks, CePoD seeks to best leverage the unique expertise that
ASU units and researchers across the University have established in both
fields.
The Center is dedicated to providing faculty and students
with research support in a collegial and collaborative intellectual environment.
CePoD
projects have been supported with funds from the National Institutes
of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the National Council
for Eurasian
and East European Research.
