讲座内容简介：Recent development in spatial statistics and increased availability of spatial data have sparkled new interests in integrating space into social science research.  Human behaviors are often directly or indirectly, intentionally or subconsciously shaped by the space in which they take place.  Therefore, spatial thinking has the potential to provide a new perspective of understanding social interactions and population dynamics.  This talk aims to provide a survey of the recent progress in spatial analysis in social science research.  After a brief overview of several empirical examples drawn from sociology and demography, the talk will focus on two projects in progress: (1) ethnic residential segregation and child mortality in a historical U.S. city, and (2) residential segregation in Shanghai.  The talk will conclude with a prime challenge for spatial scholars: How do we think spatially and inform the traditional spatial social science research?
