What an experience! This course gave me tools I never thought I could use to model kinship within my research area. Thanks to @MPIDRnews for the opportunity, and thanks to @AppDemography and @AVerdery for the support. Pd: also, made a bunch of new friends and coauthors. 👍🏼🫶🏼
Full of energy and new ideas after concluding the first-ever full-scale course on the Demography of Kinship! All the course materials, including a series of fantastic #RStats tutorials by @ivanchowilliams, are available online:
