I am working on data from Thailand trying to understand how demographers might better understand demographic processes by looking at what goes on inside of households. How are resources allocated? What are the exchange relations between household members that may affect demographic outcomes? How do decisions about migration or fertility affect internal household dynamics? What about intergenerational relations within the household? Are these topics of interest? I was thinking that a group of interested persons might get together to talk about our current research, future research and how it all relates to this topic. Perhaps we can think about some goals which would involve a symposium and some comparative work. I would be particularly interested in addressing theory and methodological issues. I know the PAAs are fast approaching and schedules are filling up but maybe we can find a space and a time that would be good for a majority of interested persons. This would be a very informal meeting. Please respond with your interest to me at: Curran@u.washington.edu A little background on myself. I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology at the University of Washington. My dissertation addresses how education and migration opportunities are distributed among young adults in Thailand. I'm hoping to continue that work and to move to comparative work in other countries. I look forward to a response. Please be sure to send the email to my address rather than reply to the list. I will send out another universal email when I have a better sense of the interest and a time to meet. Also, please forward this to other relevant lists or persons that might be interested.
