PopFest is an annual multidisciplinary population studies conference for postgraduate students, organised by fellow postgraduates. The 21st conference ‘Coming of Age’ will be hosted at the University of Southampton from the 8th to the 10th July 2013. An informal yet informative event, PopFest aims to bring together research students from a variety of disciplines with a common interest in population. This conference provides the ideal environment for postgraduates to present their work, further their knowledge and network with others in the field.

Oral presentations will be allocated to sessions with others of a similar theme. Sessions will be 90 minutes long allowing presentations to last for 15 to 20 minutes followed by time for questions. A poster session will be held on the Monday evening during the Conference Reception. Papers should be submitted by 1st March 2013 to popfest2013@southampton.ac.uk.
