The Federation of Canadian Demographers organizes a special conference on the theme “Understanding the populations of the past: new developments and interdisciplinary perspectives”. The Conference will take place during the annual meetings of the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences and is a joint initiative involving the Canadian Population Society, the Association des démographes du Québec and the Canadian Historical Association. The nature of the Conference is interdisciplinary and the theme matches the overall theme of the Congress “Connected understanding / Le savoir branché”
