From the AYHD Board
Looking forward to summer!
After a spring full of exciting conferences, June has been a quiet month for the Board. We go on holiday in July, which means that there will be no July newsletter. To all our subscribers, we wish you a relaxing summer break, encourage you to use sunscreen to avoid sunburn, stay hydrated in the sun, and see you again in August!
Spotlight Article
Every newsletter we will spotlight one article or working paper by a young historical demographer or researcher in an adjacent field. Would you like to have your work shared or do you know a recent paper that deserves to be spotlighted? Send an email to Joris (joris.kok@iisg.nl) with information on the research you would like to see shared.
This newsletter’s spotlight article is:
Fertility dynamics through historical pandemics and COVID-19 in Switzerland, 1871-2022
Published in Population Studies by Katarina L. Matthes, Mathilde Le Vu & Kaspar Staub (University of Zurich). You can read the full article here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00324728.2025.2462291.
