BYM Special Interest Lecture: How Population Change Might Transform Our World

Venue: By zoom

Join Online Meeting

We are fortunate to have as our speaker Sarah Harper, Professor of Gerontology at the University of Oxford and Director of the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing. Sarah  was appointed a CBE for services to Demography in 2018 and Chair of the NGO HelpAge International in 2024.

Sarah served on the Prime Minister’s Council for Science and Technology, advising  Prime Ministers Cameron and May on population change, and Chaired the Government's Review on Ageing Populations. Among her professional commitments,  Sarah is  Vice-Chair of the UK Research Integrity Office,  and an Ambassador for  CHASE Africa.

Sarah has a background in anthropology and population studies and her early research focused on migration and the social implications of demographic change. Her current research on demographic change addresses two broad questions: the implications  of falling fertility and increasing life expectancy, and the interaction of population change with the environment.
