The Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure (Campop), the European Society of Historical Demography (ESHD) and the COST-Action GREATLEAP invite applications for a two-week Summer School on ‘Micro-Census Insights into Historical Households, Mortality and Fertility’, held at University of Cambridge from July 6-17th, 2026.

This advanced course on historical demography introduces students to key approaches for analysing micro-census data. The sessions will include mixtures of theory and practise, giving students the opportunity to work with census datasets from a range of countries and time periods (including the UK, IPUMS USA and International). Using quantitative, spatial and indirect estimation techniques, we will explore patterns in historical mortality and health, fertility, marriage and migration.

Application deadline: February 2, 2026 to secretary@eshd.eu
