| The Mellon Program on
Urbanization and Migration (PUM) at Princeton University's
Office of Population Research promotes international research
and collaboration between OPR and affiliated demography centers
in Cuba, South Africa, Colombia and Thailand. The visiting
fellows program provides access to all of the resources
available to OPR research affiliates, including fully equipped
offices, excellent computing environment, library, and
demography seminars.
Summer research competitions strengthen intellectual outreach
to pre-doctoral students and faculty colleagues at Rutgers
University and other units within Princeton. PUM nurtures the
development of migration research in developing countries by
sponsoring dissertation field research projects for young
investigators in Africa, Latin America and Thailand.
Co-sponsored conferences at Princeton promote comparative
research on the informal sector. Principal investigator Marta
Tienda has administered the Mellon Program on Urbanization and
Migration since 2000. |
