The Cornell Population Center (CPC) serves as the intellectual hub for demographic research and training at Cornell University. The CPC supports demographic research relating broadly to four core themes: (1) families and children; (2) health behaviors and disparities; (3) poverty and inequality; and (4) immigration and diversity. The CPC is a university-wide program serving 95 affiliates from 24 different departments and is housed in the College of Human Ecology. Daniel T. Lichter is CPC Director.

RESEARCH
The CPC is honored to receive Atlantic Philanthropies' generous endowment to fund post-doctoral fellows in honor of former Cornell president, Frank H. T. Rhodes. The second Frank H.T. Rhodes Post-doctoral Fellowship was offered to Kimberly Turner. Dr. Turner completed her doctoral degree requirements from the Department of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Summer 2012. She was also an NICHD pre-doctoral trainee at the Center for Demography and Ecology. Her research interests lie at the intersection of race, work, and family. Her research to date has focused on disadvantaged men and their negotiation of time and energy investments between the spheres of work and family. Professors Daniel T. Lichter and Maureen Waller will be Kim's mentors while in residence.
