Auteurs : Bongaarts John, Hodgson Dennis
Dennis Hodgson is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at Fairfield University where he taught from 1976 until 2014. He has been on the editorial committee of Population and Development Review from 2010 through 2021. He holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from Cornell University where he was a student in its International Population Program from 1969 until 1976. Hodgson’s research has focused on understanding the relationship of population trends to the development of population theory and policy. He has published a number of articles analysing the post-WWII period when most demographers came to see the rapid growth of population in the developing world as a crisis in need of policy intervention. He has also published articles on the role that population concerns have played at various times in US history, from the 18th century through the early 20th century.
