CAnD3 Fellowship

Sample of Projects

Bio

David Okunlola is a doctoral student in the Department of Sociology at Florida State University, Tallahassee, USA. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in Demography and Social Statistics from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state, Nigeria. His research interests lie in health and social demography, as evidenced by his publications in reputable journals.  

He recently earned a MSc in Sociology (Demography track), having examined the nexus between women's empowerment and the potential of multiple high-risk births in northern Nigeria. Besides, he is a member of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP), the Population Association of America (PAA), and the American Sociological Association (ASA).  

I hopes to strengthen his statistical and demographic analysis skills in the CAnD3 fellowship and connect with other erudite fellows, instructors, and industry experts in social and population health research.
