Population Problems in History’s Mirror Call for Papers/Abstracts and Session Proposals The Centre for Population Studies of the Faculty of Economics, Lomonosov Moscow State University, announces the 6th International Conference on Population Problems “Dmitry Valentey Commemorative Readings” in April 2010 (http://dmo.econ.msu.ru/Valentey-Readings/2010/en). The conference will be devoted to the problems of historical demography, population history, population theories and policies in Russia and abroad. The conference organizers are hopeful that the conference will outline the state of knowledge on population history, and contribute to understanding of how and why the historical background determines our perception of contemporary demographic problems and population policy. The regular conference programme will be grouped around four main themes: • Sources and methodology of historical demography • Demographic processes in historical retrospective • Population policy: the history of concepts and practices • History and perspectives of demographic research and education in Russia and in the world Furthermore, the conference will include a special plenary session and round table discussion “The ideas of Mikhail Lomonosov “on preservation and multiplication of the Russian nation” and the present”, in view of the fact that the “6th Dmitry Valentey Commemorative Readings” are embodied in the biennial programme of scientific events dedicated to the 300th anniversary of Mikhail Lomonosov, the illustrious Russian scientist, poet and one of the founders of Moscow State University. Each theme of the regular programme supposes one plenary session with one or two invited speakers, several simultaneous sessions and/or round tables organized upon submitted papers selected by session organizer. Besides, a joint poster session will be organized. The working languages are Russian and English. Those participants who wish to organize a session within one of the main topics are invited to send their proposals to the Organizing Committee by the 31st of March 2009.
