Professor Kara Joyner

Congratulations to BGSU Sociology Professors Kara Joyner and Wendy D. Manning and BGSU PhD candidate Ryan Bogle for joining the ranks of several poster session winners at the Population Association of America. The trio attended the 2014 PAA Annual Meeting from May 1-3.

Their poster, Social Context and the Stability of Same-Sex and Different-Sex Relationships, compares the stability of young adult same-sex and different-sex relationships and examines the influence of contextual factors on the stability of same-sex couples.

Congratulations to Marta Alvira-Hammond, BGSU sociology doctoral student, who is the 2014 Adamchak Award recipient. Established by Donald and Susan Adamchak (both of whom earned graduate degrees in sociology from BGSU), this award recognizes a graduate student's research excellence in demography. Marta was recognized for her outstanding research paper, "Fertility Differentials Across Race-Ethnicity and Generational Status: Incorporating Non-Hispanic Immigrants."
