报告人简介：
Michael White joined Brown University in 1989. He was director of the Population Studies and Training Center (PSTC) from 2006-2011. White has served on the Board of Directors of the Population Association of America and on the scientific panels and advisory committees for a number of organizations, including the National Institutes of Health, the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population, the U.S. National Academies, and the INDEPTH network of demographic surveillance centers. White's areas of interest span demography and urban sociology with a particular interest in topics pertinent to public policy. Much of his research is unified by a concern for population distribution and migration: processes of movement, settlement, and adjustment. He has held a series of external grant awards from NIH, NSF, and private foundations. Current projects include studies of rural-urban migration, environment, and health in South Africa; and the measurement of spatial inequality in developing countries. White has conducted research in a variety of international settings, including China, Ethiopia, Ghana, Italy, Kenya, South Africa, and Vietnam.
