Introduction— Loretta Bass, University of Oklahoma Rebecca Nees, University of Oklahoma Teaching Demography Demography is an interdisciplinary science that draws heavily on sociology. Social demographers make vital contributions to theory, methods, and policy making by pushing the envelope on two fields. The syllabi presented in this volume demonstrate the breadth of demographic training, and how it serves to bridge distinct areas within sociology that have much to offer through synthesis. This collection first presents course syllabi for undergraduate and graduate courses in demography, and then resources for data used in demographic analysis. Selection of Materials Materials for this set were actively recruited. Notices were placed in Footnotes and PAA Affairs, and many faculty were contracted by e-mail in order to bring more diversity to the collection. From this varied resource base, material was selected by the editors for inclusion in this set based upon a number of criteria. We looked for substantive quality, creativity, completeness, pedagogical coherence, innovation, clarity, timeliness, and materials representing a spectrum of approaches and organizational forms. Keeping pace with technology, several syllabi make excellent use of data available on-line or on CD-ROM (i.e. FERRET, SSDAN, ADHEALTH). On the undergraduate level, the course syllabi are introductory in nature with the exception of two courses, one that focuses on social and demographic change in America and a second that focuses on population and the environment. Also included at the undergraduate level are exercises that may be used to supplement the general syllabi. There are three general courses and eight specialized demography courses geared to graduate students. All materials included have been edited. We chose to eliminate some administrative information from syllabi and assignments to increase the space available. The materials should be viewed then, as excerpts form instructor’s complete work. All errors are ours, all credit the contributors. Use of this Set The collections of course materials are distributed by the ASA Teaching Resource Center to promote communication about teaching. Through exploring another’s conceptualization of a course, we can evaluate and redesign our own course offerings. It is in this spirit then, of sharing and promoting individual teaching development, that this collection is offered.
