From the Director
Douglas S. Massey, Director
During 2017, the Office of Population Research celebrated its 82nd year as a population research center. During this year, five staff members were honored for their years of service, including Wayne Appleton for 25 years, Regina Leidy and Kristen Matlofsky for 15 years, and Kate Jaeger and Kelly Cleland for 10 years.
Three doctoral students completed their dissertations in 2017 and moved on to begin their professional careers. Angelina Grigoryeva and Ayesha Mahmud both accepted positions as David E. Bell Postdoctoral Fellows at Harvard's Center for Population and Development Studies, and Zitsi Mirakhur joined the Research Alliance for New York City Schools as a Research Associate.
Postdoctoral fellow Jackelyn Hwang joined Stanford's faculty as an Assistant Professor of Sociology.
There were also additions to OPR's faculty during 2017. Leah Boustan joined the faculty as Professor of Economics while Kathy Edin joined as Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs and Tim Nelson as Lecturer in Public Affairs. In the course of the year, Sir Angus Deaton and Anne Case transitioned to emeritus status, but not before Angus was awarded the Colonel James Tod Award from the Mewar Charitable Foundation of Udaipur, India for his contributions to the understanding of that region, and Anne Case was elected to membership in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for her contributions to economic science.
Congratulations are also owed to Betsy Levy Paluck for her receipt of a MacArthur Foundation "Genius Award" and to Noreen Goldman for her election as Vice President of the Population Association of America. Among other faculty honors, Janet Currie received an honorary Doctorate from the University of Zurich for her work in health economics while Marta Tienda was named Chair of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Board of Trustees.
Faculty members were not the only ones receiving honors, however. Juliette Hackett was awarded the Charles F. Westoff Prize in Demography for her senior thesis entitled "Paths to Polarization: The Development of Abortion Views in Two Generations of Elite American College Students." Louis Donnelly was Poster Session Winner at the 2017 PAA Meeting for his presentation on "The Protective Effects of Housing Assistance Programs on Eviction" while Cheng Cheng won for her poster, "Women's Education and Household DecisionMaking from a Multi-Generational Perspective."
Finally, a more dubious distinction befell yours truly when I made a cameo appearance on the TV show "Adam Ruins Everything" to explain to viewers why building a wall along the Mexico-U.S. border was a bad idea. It's sad to say that after all my Op-Ed pieces in the New York Times and other respected newspapers, this was by far my most successful instance of public outreach. At last count the segment had 8.3 million downloads on YouTube and another 1.2 million on the truTV channel. Such are the times we live in.
Douglas Massey, Director
The same honor was also bestowed upon OPR Faculty Associate Dalton Conley for his contributions to sociology and the study of biosocial interactions.
