Making a Difference at the Intersection of Population, Environment, and Security Issues: A Look at the University of Michigan Population Fellows Program, by Shannon England
The University of Michigan Population Fellows Program was established in 1984 to give early-career professionals in international population assistance hands-on experience working in the field.
