Population, Space and Place is an interdisciplinary population studies journal that explores the relationships between human populations and the places they inhabit. We publish research articles, reviews, and commentaries that investigate the spatial and temporal dimensions of demographic processes, migration patterns, urbanization, and other topics related to the intersection of population and geography.
Our editors welcome contributions from scholars in fields such as geography, demography, sociology, anthropology, and public health, and seeks to promote cross-disciplinary dialogue and collaboration.
