Journal club: Culture & fertility
Posted by Lance Gravlee on February 19th, 2010 in Journal club | 2 Comments »
Our discussion this week focuses on a recent paper by Ryan Brown, Dan Hruschka, and Carol Worthman in the American Anthropologist:
Brown, R. A., Hruschka, D. J., & Worthman, C. M. (2009). Cultural models and fertility timing among Cherokee and White youth in Appalachia: Beyond the mode. American Anthropologist, 111(4), 420-431.
Please join us Friday, Feb. 19, 12:50 – 1:40 p.m. in Grinter 376 (Latin American Studies Conference Room). I’ll be moderating the discussion, and we’ll have two visitors—a prospective student and a prospective colleague—join us.

Ooh I haven’t seen this one yet! Will have to read it on the plane.
You might also want to see this earlier article by Brown et al. on the development of the LTI-Y instrument they discuss in the American Anthropologist article:
