BSPS at 50: looking backwards, looking forwards at this year's conference

Next week, CPC-CG members will be heading to the British Society for Population Studies (BSPS) 50th anniversary conference at Keele University from 11-13 September.

The conference will play host to simultaneous strand sessions of submitted papers, plus invited plenary sessions with the theme ‘BSPS at 50: looking backwards, looking forwards’.

Our members Professor Ridhi Kashyap and Dr Bernice Kuang are plenary speakers representing different career stages and BSPS constituencies as part of a panel who will discuss new and future developments in British population studies.

CPC-CG are sponsoring this year’s poster session, and we will have a joint stand with our partners at the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science (LCDS) in the Chancellor’s Open Space. Do pay us a visit to find out more about our work and pick-up some conference stationery essentials.

You can find out about our members' presentations below with links to their abstracts. For the latest conference updates, follow us on Twitter, along with @bspsUK and the hashtag #bsps2023. More information and a full conference programme are available on the BSPS website.
