CJRC seminar
This conference is part of a National Science Foundation Human and Social Dynamics (HSD) project on the "Dynamics of Space and Time Use: Patterns, Causes, and Consequences for Crime and Problem Behaviors." The general aim of the conference is to help advance innovative research on space-time dynamics and human behavior. In line with this goal, the conference brings together top scholars from a variety of disciplines who are involved in research on the measurement, patterns, and/or consequences of space-time use for human problem and other behaviors. By allowing for intellectual exchange of ideas and approaches among a set of top-notch scholars who cross disciplinary boundaries, the conference seeks to spread ideas across a wide array of scholarly communities, thereby broadly impacting methods and substantive findings regarding the spatially and temporally embedded dynamics of human behavior. The presenters include:
Vincent David (Visiting Fellow, Northwestern University); Barbara Entwisle(Kenan Professor of Sociology and Director of the Carolina Population Center, University of North Carolina); Michael F. Goodchild (Professor of Geography and Director of the Center for Spatial Studies, University of California-Santa Barbara); Richard Grannis (Assistant Professor of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles); Stephen A. Matthews (Associate Professor of Sociology, Anthropology, and Demography, Faculty Director of Geographic Information Analysis Core, and Senior Research Associate in the Population Research Institute, Pennsylvania State University); Talia McCray (Assistant Professor of Community and Regional Planning, University of Texas); as well as Ohio State University’s own: Christopher Browning (Associate Professor of Sociology); Catherine Calder (Associate Professor of Statistics); Rachel Dwyer (Assistant Professor of Sociology); Lauren J.
