Mortality Symposium

H-Demog is beginning to archive working papers addressing mortality. Other topics will follow in the next few months. If you have a paper on mortality that does not fit the symposium theme, and you would like collegial feedback, please send your completed paper to Dave Elliott::

co-editor_h-demog@esc.edu

Special request: When you send your paper to me, please send it as an attachment with the filename consisting of your surname followed by an underscore and a one or two-word version of the paper's title, as in: surname_title.html. Keep in mind that all readers should be able to read .html and .rtf files though there may be a loss in formatting or diacriticals. If you wish to include an abstract, include that in the actual email message and I will circulate it on H-Demog once the paper is available.

As the 20th century reaches its final months, H-Demog announces an up-coming on-line symposium on mortality across the world in the 20th century. While the 20th century has seen remarkable improvements in health care and lengthening in life expectancy in many countries, it has also seen repeated epidemics with millions of deaths worldwide, most particularly the current AIDS pandemic. In addition, untold millions have died through warfare and genocide. Complicating matters, we find vast mortality differences among countries in the world community, and within countries, as well. H-Demog solicits papers addressing these issues. Submission information to the left.
