Here is just a small selection of their activities. In July, CPC-CG supported the 29th Annual Postgraduate Population Studies Conference (PopFest) at the University of Southampton. Organised by PhD students Parth Pandya (University of St Andrews), Izzi Carter (LSE), Clara Girault and Sai Joshi (University of Southampton), the event featured keynote talks from Professor Jane Falkingham and Dr Antonino Polizzi. Delegates joined from across the international population studies community. Lekshmi Prasannan Reeba (LSE) won the poster prize for her work on women’s empowerment and fertility intentions in India.

Our second keynote speaker at #PopFest2025 was @polizzan.bsky.social, discussing his PhD thesis on the causes and consequences of growing #lifeexpectancy shortfalls.

Antonino also discussed his #PhD journey, giving delegates lots of useful insights to use in their own work. @bspsuk.bsky.social
