The Notestein Seminar Series
An integral part of the research and training program at OPR is the series of
weekly seminars, which provide a forum in which OPR staff, students, and
visiting scholars can become acquainted with current research projects. Students
who are writing theses are required to present a seminar in this series in order
to receive suggestions on their research and to obtain experience in making
public presentations. Demographers and social scientists from nearby
institutions are frequently invited to present their research findings in this
series.
In March 1983, the Frank W. Notestein Memorial Fund was established with the
purpose of bringing distinguished outside speakers to OPR on a more regular
basis. These lecturers usually spend several hours in informal discussion with
students (often over lunch) before giving a seminar. Beginning in 1993, OPR has
been holding joint seminars once each month with the labor economists and
development economists with the goal of creating intellectual bridges between
these two groups.
