Call for Papers
Population Dynamics and Hurricane Katrina
Population and Environment
Population and Environment is seeking papers that examine the demographic dimensions of hurricane events—with a focus on the implications of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita—for a special edition to be called Population Dynamics and Hurricane Katrina. Although event-specific, papers should improve broader understanding and theory about associations between population and environment. Contributions based on quantitative and qualitative data, as well as policy dimensions are encouraged.
To have a paper considered, submit a note of interest, including a short overview of topic of inquiry by Friday, September 26, to guest editors Bill Frey and Audrey Singer. Completed manuscripts will be due Friday, November 14, and should be formatted in accordance with Population and Environment guidelines.
