• Critical Demography Project -- Critical Demography is a new and exciting paradigm that has the potential of revolutionizing the study of population. Critical Demography
  facilitates the development of theories, methods and concepts that do not
  neatly fit within the boundaries of the prevailing paradigm, conventional
  demography. Critical Demography makes explicit the manner in which the
  social structure differentiates dominant and subordinate populations.
