Vinnare av Svensk Demografisk Förenings uppsatstävling 2022 SDF gratulerar Tommy Andersson från Göteborgs universitet med uppsatsen Urbana dödsfällor? En jämförande studie av stad/landsbygd i Sverige år 1750-1900 med hänsyn till teorin "urban graveyard". Hela uppsatsen kan läsas här (pdf). Juryn bestod av Wossenseged Birhane Jemberie (Umeå), Sara Kalucza (Umå), och Lia Ma (SCB). Juryns motivering: "The winning thesis is a well-executed piece of independent research with a clear contribution. It demonstrates population development in two cities, Karlstad and Gävle, as well as two nearby rural areas, Alfta and Fryksände, during the period 1750-1800. It enriches our knowledge about how marriage, fertility, mortality, and migration may have contributed to the natural increase of population in urban and rural areas in different ways during the second half of the 18th century. It also uses an engaging language to connect previous literature and theory with historical data. Overall, the thesis is extremely well-written, and the presentation thereof is balanced, clear, and accessible to a non-expert. It awakens curiosity among its readers, and we find ourselves really wanting to know: was Gävle an urban graveyard?" 2021.12.16 Uppsatstävling 2022 Nu finns information tillgängligt om uppsatstävlingen 2022! 2021.06.04 Vinnare av Svensk Demografisk Förenings uppsatstävling 2021 SDF gratulerar Mingus Wass (Kulturgeografiska Instutionen på Stockholms universitet) till vinsten med uppsatsen "Residential segregation of poverty: A longitudinal study of socio-economic segregation in Stockholm County 1991-2016” (Master uppsats). Hela uppsatsen kan läsas här (pdf). I år bestod juryn av Anna Baranowska-Rataj (Umeå universitet), Gabriel Brea-Martínez (Lunds universitet), Jeanne Cilliers (Lunds universitet) och Johan Junkka (Umeå universitet). Totalt kom åtta uppsatser in. Juryns motivering: “The winning thesis is a topical and well-motivated quantitative exercise in validating and extending existing estimates of socio-economic segregation in Stockholm County for the period 1991-2016. The thesis goes further by systematically comparing common techniques for measuring segregation to inform a discussion on how sensitive these estimates are to the choice of method. It is thus a well-executed piece of independent research with a clear contribution. Overall, the thesis is extremely well-written, and the presentation thereof is balanced, clear, and accessible to a non-expert.” |
