Seventeenth Annual De Jong Lecture in Social Demography

233B HUB-Robeson Center
Seventeenth Annual De Jong Lecture in Social Demography

“Generational Overlap: Changing Demography and Shared Lifetimes” will be presented by Dr. Marcy Carlson, Professor of Sociology, University of Wisconsin–Madison. 

Dr. Carlson will consider how changing demographic patterns (i.e., declining/delayed fertility and longer life expectancies) shape the prevalence of generational overlap, especially for children and grandparents. Generational overlap in the form of shared lifetimes represents a fundamental condition guiding whether and how kin relationships across generations may develop and how resources may be shared—with notable variation by socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, and family complexity. 

Graduate Students and Postdocs are invited to attend a lunch meeting with the De Jong Lecture presenters in 605 Oswald Tower at 12:45 p.m. on Friday, September 16. Space is limited to sixteen students. Email Carolyn Scott at css7@psu.edu to sign up.

Advance registration is required to attend in person or virtually.
