Such a fear was obviously inspired by a continuing “encroachment” of other so- cial sciences such as sociology, history, anthropology, and especially eco- nomics into the classic domain—largely defined by a small set of depen- dent variables—of demography. Nathan Keyfitz in 1984 felt similarly that “[D]emography has withdrawn from its borders and has left a no man’s land which other disciplines have infiltrated.” We share no such fears and voice no such complaints. Rather, such “encroachments” are felicitous for the social sciences because they open up new opportunities for advancement. McNicoll notices these expanding opportunities: “Rounded explanation, cross-disciplinary range, awareness of theoretical frontiers and historical contingency, and the critical stance that an outsider can bring to self-regarding disciplinary cultures all can work in favor of demography as serious social science as well as (not to be scorned) a neat ordering of events on the Lexis plane.” Indeed, in surveying theo- retical work written in the 1990s, we have found several reassessments of demographic theories (e.g., Smith 1989; Pollak and Watkins 1993; Burch 1995, 1996, 1997; Hobcraft and Kiernan 1995; Kirk 1996; van de Kaa 1996). In this essay, we shall limit our attention to the subfield of fertility theo- ries, but it is clear that theories of migration, for instance, are facing simi- lar challenges (e.g., Massey et al. 1993). In the reassessments of fertility theories, we detect three types: —“disciplinary soccer games” where demography, by virtue of its multi- disciplinarity, becomes the arena for opposing theories and interpretations. POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 24(1):1–14 (MARCH 1998)1 Click to print article Click Clickto return to returnto Table to of Table Contents of Contents 2 O N THEORY DEVELOPMENT In itself there is nothing wrong with testing theory H1 against theory H2 or empirical evidence E1 against E2, provided of course that H1 and H2 or E1 and E2 are mutually exclusive. But such soccer games deteriorate when opponents settle old scores, when positions become entrenched, and when science becomes a question of belief or commitment. This often leads to the presentation of methodologically flawed research that is supposed to enhance the supremacy of one paradigm or disciplinary approach over the other (see also Burch 1996). —“the show room approach” in which the different approaches and para- digms coexist and are presented as separate narratives, as distinct “good stories.” Dirk van de Kaa (1996) describes a “good narrative” by the fol- lowing two characteristics: (a) an easily identifiable central action (such as a statistical account of differentials during a fertility transition) and (b) a setting that allows for an easy interpretation of that action (such as a “wealth flow” reversal). According to van de Kaa, fertility theories have not pro- gressed much beyond “anchored narratives” that live side by side. The ad- jective “anchored” refers to the plausibility of supporting evidence, and a well-anchored narrative typically consists of sub-narratives that tell the story in greater detail. Such sub-narratives are, according to van de Kaa, often nested and they can be ordered hierarchically from the “general” to the “highly precise or detailed.” The question is, of course, whether there exist ways of integrating such separate narratives or, alternatively, whether the social sciences, including demography, will fail to achieve a sufficiently high degree of sophistication that lifts them beyond anchored but still compart- mentalized narratives. —“the jigsaw puzzle approach” in which we have no a priori grand view of what the picture represents, but a growing collection of pieces of evi- dence (E1, E2, E3 . .) and theoretical insights (H1, H2, H3 .

  • Religion Networks and Hiv/Aids in Rural Malawi
    RELIGION NETWORKS AND HIV/AIDS IN RURAL MALAWI DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University By jimi adams * * * * * Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Kazimierz M. Slomczynski, Advisor Professor James W. Moody, Outside Member _______________________ Professor Korie Edwards Advisor Sociology Graduate Program Professor Steven H. Lopez Copyright by jimi adams 2007 ABSTRACT Sub-Saharan Africa’s residents represent approximately two-thirds of the nearly 40 million global HIV/AIDS cases, while comprising only about one-tenth of the world’s population. In the rural settings where most inhabitants of SSA live, religious organizations are the only formal organizations present, and virtually all residents of SSA participate in a religious organization. Many have theorized a relationship between religion and HIV/AIDS, suggesting alternately its helpful and harmful potential in this crisis. The existing research conceptualizes religion, HIV risk and the connection between them by studying individuals, organizations, or aggregations of individuals and organizations. In this dissertation, I demonstrate the adjustments a network perspective contributes to researchers’ ability to understand religious organizational responses to this epidemic, the nature of HIV-risk and, perhaps most importantly, how these are linked. The resulting conceptualization suggests some of the first mechanisms that demonstrate how

  • Inspiring Chinese and Americans Through Education Since 1901
    Yale-China ASSOCIATION Biennial Report 2005-2007 Yale-China Association Inspiring Chinese and Americans through education since 1901 For more than a century, the Yale-China Association has promoted understanding between Chinese and American people through the medium of education. Our programs in health, law, American Studies, English language instruction, and community and public service bring life-changing experiences to thousands of people each year. Teaching and learning are the heart of our work. Some of the highlights of the period from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2007 include: • Supporting the development of China’s non-profit sector by organizing comparative work- shops in Beijing and Guangzhou on civil society in China and the United States. The work- shops provided the opportunity for learning and exchange among more than 80 individuals including sociologists, anthropologists, activists, and founders of charities. • Expanding our Scholarship Program to give financial support to 1,369 Chinese undergrad- uates from disadvantaged backgrounds at Central South University and Hunan University in Changsha, Hunan. As a part of the expansion, the program now includes enhancement activities that are designed to expand students’ understanding of the world outside the class- room, strengthen their practical skills, and equip them with the confidence to succeed in school and after graduation. • Broadening the horizons of more than 1,200 secondary and university students in China through English classes taught by Yale-China Teaching Fellows, including an expansion of the program to Xiuning Middle School in Anhui province. • Building upon our Chia Family Health Fellowship Program to create the Chia Community Health Service & Health Education Program, designed to address unmet health needs among vulnerable populations in Hunan province.

  • Willard Livingstone Beard Was Born on February 5, 1865 in Western Connecticut (Shelton/Huntington)
    From Century Farm to Foochow The Beard Family Letters 1892 – 1950 and beyond How This Project Began Little did I know what I was in for… In the summer of 2004, our family drove to Crystal River, Florida to vacation with my husband’s parents, Jill and Charlie Jackson. Jill’s mother, Kathleen Beard Elmer, had died earlier that year at the age of 93 and Jill had a boxful of about 30 letters from Kathleen’s house that were written from China by Kathleen’s parents, Willard Livingstone and Ellen Lucy Kinney Beard, and other members of the family. Being interested in genealogy (and not having much success researching my Smith roots), my daughter, Jamie, and I looked through the letters and tried reading them. We found it challenging, not just because of the handwriting, but because of the age of the letters. And, Ellen had a tendency to write in the margins and every empty space available. We decided that one of us would read the letter while the other typed it up on the computer. In that way, we could save the letter and anyone else could read it more easily. Jill allowed us to take the letters home to Texas and we spent the rest of the summer transcribing these letters onto our computer. (At the time we didn’t realize there were more than 1,300 more letters still out there in various locations!) Thanks to the internet and search engines, I discovered that Oberlin College had some letters in their archives that had been left behind in Tank barn when Ellen went back to China in 1925.
