This course provides an introduction to population history
through critical analysis of controversial debates in the field. The schedule identifies three types of class meetings: · Lectures, generally on Tuesdays, will cover
the substantive history of population. · Sources and Methods, on most Thursdays, will provide a
basic introduction to the methods and materials of historical demography. · Hands on lab exercises, approximately every third
Thursday, will give you the experience of doing population history research. The lab sessions will take place in room 150 Anderson Hall,
which has a limited number of workstations. To accommodate everyone, we will
divide into groups, and meet for just 30 minutes with each group. It is essential that you attend every class; attendance
will be taken, and will count for 30% of your grade. Required readings are listed below.
All readings are available online at no cost. The hyperlinks following each
article will get you the pdf if you are logged in on campus. If you want to
get access from home, you will have to either save the article while on
campus or authenticate through the library
website and search for the journal or use
the citation
linker. I have assigned 2-3 articles a week, averaging fewer than
50 pages. It is strongly recommended that you do the readings before
the lecture to which they apply. In addition to the core readings, there are
supplemental readings that will be needed for particular assignments. Written
Assignments The written assignments consist of: · Two essays of 750 words each, due March 24 and May 7 (15% of
grade each) · Five homework assignments (10% of grade) · A mid-term exam on March 12 (15%
of grade) · A final exam on May 12 (15% of
grade) |

Assignment #1. Use the IPUMS Online tabulation system to create graphs of
the age distribution in the Assignment #2. Using the spreadsheet marst2.xls,
calculate the total persons in every census year for natives and foreign
born. Next calculate the percent of persons single by census year for natives
and foreign born. Finally, make a line graph of the percent single by year
for native and foreign. Copy and paste the Excel graph into a Word document,
and write a short paragraph speculating on the causes of the difference shown
between the two groups. Email the Word file to hist3797@gmail.com by February 17. Assignment #3. Use the IPUMS Online tabulation system to analyze mean
years of schooling for at two population subgroups of your choosing in at
least two IPUMS census years. You may choose population subgroups defined by
any of the following variables: ·
Mother’s
birthplace (mbpl) or father’s birthplace (fbpl), which are available
1880-1970 ·
Ancestry
(ancestr1), available 1980-2007. ·
Hispanic
Origin (hispan). ·
Region
(region). ·
State
(statefip). ·
Size
of place (sizepl), available 1850-1950. ·
Metropolitan
status (metro). ·
Specific
metropolitan areas (metarea); not available in 1960. ·
Farm
residence (farm). ·
Radio
(radio), available 1930, and Television (tv), available 1960, 1970. ·
Telephone
(phone), available 1960-2007. 1. Choose one of the variables and
look it up in the IPUMS documentation (http://usa.ipums.org/usa-action/variableGroups.do).
2. Some of the variables idenfify
just two subgroups (e.g., farm identifies the farm population and the
non-farm population). Others, like mother’s birthplace, identify many
subgroups. If your variable has many subgroups, identify two specific groups
of interest for each variable (such as Germans and Irish). 3. Using the online tabulator (http://usa.ipums.org/usa/sda/),
select a year. DO NOT CHOOSE 1950.
4. Specify age as your row variable,
school as your column variable, and your selected variable as the control
variable. 5. If necessary, recode the control
variable to identify your two subgroups of interest. (http://sda.usa.ipums.org/helpfiles/helpan.htm#r_basic) 6. To limit the analysis to people
aged 6 to 22, type this after selection
filters: age(6-22) 7. Uncheck percentages and color coding. 8. Run the table. Make sure you have enough
cases in each subgroup (enough is weighted cases over 100,000, unweighted
cases over 1,000). If you don’t have enough cases, go back and choose
bigger subgroups. If the tabulator tells you that no cases were found, try
using detail codes if they exist for your variable. (Detail codes are
explained here.) 9. Copy and paste the tables for each
subgroup into Excel. Remember to use “paste special” and paste as
text. Correct the first row of the table to make it line up if necessary. 10. Calculate the proportion in school
at each age for both subpopulations. 11. Sum the proportions over all ages
to get mean years in school for the synthetic cohort. 12. Repeat steps 3-11 for another census year. 13. You should now have 4 numbers: mean years of
schooling for two subgroups in two census years. Write a sentence or two
describing your findings and speculating as to their meaning. 14. Email your sentences and
spreadsheet to hist3797@gmail.com by March 3. Assignment #4.
Go to Social Explorer. You
must be on campus, but wireless is fine. Click on the “maps” tab
at the top of the screen, and then follow the link to United States
Demographic Maps: Census
1790—2007. Explore census
years, subjects, and specific measures by making selections from the three
drop-down menus under “choose a map” in the upper right hand
corner. You can stick with a national
map, or zoom in to look at a particular region. If you want to analyze a
particular city, choose tract maps. Identify an interesting measure
that is available in at least 5 censuses, and make an animation by using the
“click here to save current map” buttons on the bottom of the
screen. Save your animation as a PowerPoint (this is an option under the file
menu on the upper left). Write 2-3 sentences explaining what your animation
shows, and email your PowerPoint and sentences to hist3797@gmail.com by April 14. |

Essay #1. Pick a topic from the lectures and readings for weeks 1 through
8. Select 2 or 3 supplemental readings on the topic, drawn from the list below or
your own research. Write a critical essay of 500-1000 words describing your
reaction to the readings and lecture. Who is right and who is wrong? Why?
What kind of evidence did you find most persuasive? What evidence was
unpersuasive? Write you essay in Word or another major word-processing
program and email it to hist3797@gmail.com by March 24. Essay #2. For the second essay we want
pretty much the same thing as for the first, but we want you to be more
focused. The essay must be based on at least four articles, no more than two of
which are required readings, and at least two of which com from the
supplemental reading list below, all drawn from
the second half of the course. List a bibliography of the readings you used
at the end of the essay. Do not go beyond the readings on the syllabus. Identify a specific issue about
which there is disagreement in the various articles. For example, if you were
writing about the agricultural revolution, you might address the issue of
whether mortality increased or decreased with the coming of agriculture. Or
you could look at whether agricultural innovation caused population growth or
the other way around. The more specifically you can define the debate, the
easier it will be to write an excellent essay. Once you have identified a
specific controversial issue, write a paragraph briefly summarizing the
controversy, noting where each author stands. Then write a couple of
paragraphs that identify the kinds of evidence each author uses, and identify
the strengths and weaknesses of each kind of evidence. Use citations to identify the source of
quotations, facts, or arguments. You may use any recognized style for the
citations, but I recommend the Conclude with a paragraph
summarizing your own viewpoint on the issue. As before, the length should be 500 to1000 words.
Write you essay in Word or another major word-processing program and email it
to hist3797@gmail.com by May 7. |
