CPC Showcase: Ann Berrington and Brienna Perelli-Harris, PAA session organisers

PAA is a large gathering of international researchers – and a large gathering means a lot of organisation is required! Two CPC staff members, Ann Berrington and Brienna Perelli-Harris have been working hard to ensure that PAA 2019 is a success. The call for submissions covered 11 topics representing a diverse range of research. This resulted in the 151 session organisers reviewing almost 4,000 submissions (that’s 150 submissions per organiser!). View the online programme.

We review the work that make Ann and Brienna the experts in their field:

Ann Berrington is currently a Professor and joint Head of Demography and Social Statistics in the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Southampton. She jointly co-ordinates the fertility strand of CPC and has also worked on some projects within the life course strand.

Brienna Perelli-Harris is an Associate Professor in Demography within the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Southampton. She has recently completed European Research Council Starting Grant CHILDCOHAB, which studied nonmarital childbearing using demographic techniques, quantitative and qualitative methods, and policy analysis. Now she is working within the fertility strand of the CPC.

Ann and Brienna share a wealth of experience between them. You can find some highlights below, of all the CPC Policy Briefings and Working Papers that these two academics have contributed to:
