DESCRIPTION: \nWith tremendous shifts in the accessibility of geographic da
 ta\, software and related technologies\, the currency of spatial analysis 
 is growing across the population sciences. Several US population centers a
 lready have concentrations in spatial analysis (e.g. Brown’s Population St
 udies and Training Center\, the Minnesota Pop Center\, UNC Chapel Hill’s C
 arolina Pop Center etc.). Over the past decade\, several new spatially-ori
 ented journals have also emerged:\n	•         In 2006 -  Spatial Economic A
 nalysis\;\n	•         In 2009 -  Spatial and Spatio-temporal Epidemiology a
 nd  Spatial Demography\n	•         In 2013 - Special issue of Demographic R
 esearch focused on spatial demography.\nPopulation researchers and student
 s with interest in but limited or no experience with spatial analysis are 
 invited to attend this discussion session to:\n	\n	•         Introduce spati
 al data and analysis to researchers and students through a spectrum of dif
 ferent projects\;\n	•         Provide a dynamic and interactive environment
  for learning and discussion\;\n	•         Be a catalyst for further discus
 sions about what kinds of further activities researchers and students woul
 d like the CPD to sponsor or organize relative to spatial analysis.\n	\n	Dep
 ending on the interests of members\, possible outcomes of this session cou
 ld include:\n	•         additional information sessions\;\n	•         specia
 lized training\;\n	•         speakers at the social stats and population dy
 namics speaker series\;\n	•         collaborations with ɬÀ﷬’s Geographic
  Information Centre staff and resources\;\n	•         new research collabor
 ations among CPD members\, etc.\n	\n	Agenda:\n\n	\n		\n			Speaker\n			Duration\n			Topic
