Solid @PopFest2019 wonderfully hosted by @LSESocialPolicy and @PSG_LSHTM. Great to see international representation of early researchers. Looking forward to next year.

Grandparents (mostly grandmothers!) who provide intensive + non-intensive care for grandchildren have better health over time than those providing no care, finds #popfest2019 plenary Dr Karen Glaser @KingsCollegeLon @PopFest2019
Dr Karen Glaser asking some v. important questions about grandparents in Europe at #popfest2019: variation in characteristics; how they contribute to childcare & how policies relate to patterning of grandparenting #grandparenting

How do population researchers identify? Are you a demographer? Economist? Sociologist, Anthropologist, Other? What criterion do you use to construct your research identity? #poptwitter @PopFest2019
Many of us identify with more than one discipline, and yet none of us at #popfest2019 think we study pop studies...!!

9/21 participants in the workshop identify as #demographers! Why? It's the approach they take to their research, influence + guidance from supervisors & courses taken at uni are some reasons why! #popfest2019
We're starting Day 3 at #popfest2019 with a workshop on #interdisciplinary research in #populationstudies, run by our very own @AlyceRaybould and @SedovicMicha! Stay tuned!

Fave quote "maybe that's what demography should be, a description of reality". Describing inequalities .. Tackling inequalities .. Promoting human rights 👌
An incredible panel of experts on sexual and reproductive health research from @LSEnews @LSHTM @MarieStopes & @MargaretPyke discuss the role of rights-based approaches. Big shout out to @AlyceRaybould + @SedovicMicha for organising this! #popfest2019
A rights-based approach is 'a principle not a strategy' says Joanna Busza; and Katy Footman emphasizes the need to still focus on individual SRH rights #popfest2019 @katyfootman
