The demographer's dilemma:

Bc #PopStudies institutions--your #PopCenter, #PAA2023, #DemographyJournal & etc--are your core intellectual home, you want them to make a lot of space for "demographer's demography," bc if that stuff doesn't happen there, there's nowhere else in the world it will happen

&

bc #demography as a field is small, small, small, you want your institutions to have broad ownership so they're vibrant and sustainable and fun

#AreaStudies friends: same boat?
