There will be a full programme of simultaneous strand sessions of submitted papers. Proposals or abstracts for papers and posters are invited across the entire demographic and population studies spectrum. For organizational purposes, strand organizers have been allocated to specific themes, but if you wish to submit a paper that does not appear to come under any of the headings given, please enter either ‘to be agreed’ in the relevant space on the online submission form, or leave the space blank . If accepted, the paper will be allocated to an appropriate strand session when the programme is timetabled. Submissions of quantitative and qualitative papers are most welcome.
Plenary speakers are confirmed as Professor Ron Lesthaeghe and Professor Jane Falkingham. A third plenary or an alternative session is also planned. Additionally, there will be special sessions in tribute to John Hajnal (on 9 September) and John Blacker (on 10 September), both of whom sadly died recently. Information updates on the Conference will be posted to this BSPS website as available. .htm
Presenters of posters will be expected to attend the scheduled poster session on the first evening of the Conference, but posters will remain on display for the duration of the Conference.
