#paa2023 — Public Fediverse posts

- Demography is increasingly bringing in non-sociology fields like economic history, economics concerned with stratification, public health for reasons internal to those disciplines (e.g., econ increasing interest in inequality), or bc pop centers are organizationally successful, or bc NIH made pop centers diversify their disciplinary base to keep their funding and their strategies for doing so brought new audiences to #PAA / #PAA2023, #DemographyJournal, etc

This year was my first time organizing sessions for the #PAA2023 conference for
@PopAssocAmerica. I was able to organize 4 sessions. It was so great to see them all happen! (I saw 3/4 in person and I heard the 4th one was great.) Makes the effort worth it to see 4 great panels!

This year's #PAA2023 was great! (Except for getting stuck an extra night in NOLA because
@united canceled my flight and did not give me a hotel or an option to get home until 2 days later... I rebooked on @Delta.)

Many of our @bib_bund scientists participated in #PAA2023 last week and shared their research work. Inspiring four days full of population research topics:

#Employment #Fertility #Mortality #Health #Longevity #Childcare #LifeExpectancy

Plane can't pull up to gate. Tight connection (20 minutes to dash across DFW?!). Runway congestion. Bad weather. Not enough fuel. No pilot. Overnight in layover city. TSA lines. Boarding pass won't work. Everything that could happen happened to me on my way home from #PAA2023 😂 😭

Still had a great conference though!

Had a great time at #PAA2023 this past week! It was my first time and didn't know what to expect but it was great!

Got to present my work on #geography methods for access to #genderaffirmingcare in Texas

Chaired/organized two panels on #SOGI #demography that were standing room only (like 50-75 people!)

Met a bunch of new colleagues and friends

and now there's talk of a #queer #trans demography affinity group :transgender_flag: :nonbinary_flag: :progress_pride: :bisexual_flag: 🥰

At a #PAA2023 session on housework and childcare, again struck that: You can only understand so much about a social structure by studying variation between individuals who are embedded in it.

Check out my poster w/ @jsradford 9-10:30am tomorrow (Saturday 4/15) if you want to talk about measuring cognitive household labor in surveys #PAA2023

Poster up now #PAA2023: "Counting the Hustle: Platform Workers and Digital Entrepreneurship in Federal Household Surveys"

From Laura Lindberg: #PAA2023 is occurring in a state with a full #abortion ban. Please use this link to donate to Louisiana Abortion Funds. They provide financial and practical support to people who need to travel out of state to obtain care.

Interesting #PAA2023 question: what do you call it when women time their presence in the US to give birth here? "Birth tourism" sounds demeaning and politicized to me but I dont have a better term.

Several key players of #JFR are at #PAA2023 @PopAssocAmerica! Meet Henriette Engelhardt (Editor-in-chief), Zachary Van Winkle (Editor @VanWinkleZachary), M. Raab (Deputy Managing Director @maraab), and/or Florian Schulz (Editor & Managing Director @flociologist) to learn more about our journal. #JFamRes #openaccess #OpenScience

Here's what I'm learning at #paa2023 (thread):

Great session on intergenerational mobility at #PAA2023 today. Glad I was able to show off some pop cultural knowledge with this slide.

It is inspiring and also depressing to see all these #PAA2023 demographers calmly using the common tools and theories of their trade to understand the pandemic. It's not normalizing, but it's using sciende to put the event in perspective

Arrived yesterday in #NOLA for #PAA2023, and what’s better than a jazz concert with some local cuisine dish to start off this week? 🎺 🍛

I’m here in New Orleans for #PAA2023 (& for the food)!

I’ll be presenting on the consequences of the pandemic for US population estimates on Thurs: 11 AM, Empire C.

But before that, I hope to see y’all at the welcome reception Weds! @OxfordDemSci will be at Booth 504.

Already failed my first demography small talk opportunity. Cab driver wanted to know how many people attend the conference. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ #paa2023

A gentle reminder to those visiting for #PAA2023 — tip your service workers 😊.

RT @iamharaldur
Europeans visiting the US often don’t tip. They don’t understand that many professions here aren’t paid a living wage by their employers.

You don’t need to agree with this system. But you can’t take that frustration out on service staff.

Tip your waiters. Generously.

Let’s do a show of hands: who here is going to #PAA2023?

I'm chairing the #PAA2023 session on Work and Family in the COVID-19 Era on Thursday, 4/13 at 9:30am and presenting a poster about Developing a Cognitive Housework Survey on Saturday, 4/15 at 9am

Would love to see you at the session and would love feedback on my cognitive housework survey if you can provide any!

@CoffeeBaseball Can we also nerd out about family demography? I can't wait to see you at #PAA2023!

Looked up the number of faculty members in my department & the population size of Buffalo. I'm now prepared for small talk at #paa2023.

Any #PAA2023 folks want to eat vegan food with me? https://www.gq.com/story/the-new-veganism

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?
