Summer Institute in Demography The College of Arts and Sciences at Fayetteville State University requests support for a week-long Summer Institute in Population Studies with a focus on African American demographics. The Institute is intended to enhance the teaching of selected sociology faculty from undergraduate colleges and universities particularly those from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The Summer Institute offers intensive seminars and programs to improve faculty participants knowledge on social demography with special emphasis on African Americans. Faculty members in sociology and related fields in the social sciences who teach in undergraduate programs will be selected to participate in the summer Institute. The major objective of the Institute is to encourage the participants to incorporate demographic methods and data into the undergraduate curricula. This will enhance the teaching effectiveness of demographic and population studies courses, and introduce a multi-cultural framework to the curricula by using a comparative perspective with focus on African Americans. An earlier workshop conducted in the summer of 1992, with a 2-day follow-up in the summer of 1993 was very effective in achieving this objective.

费耶特维尔州立大学艺术与科学学院申请资助为期一周的人口暑期研究所，重点放在非裔美国人的人口统计学上。该研究所的目的是加强从本科学院和大学，特别是那些来自历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)的大学挑选的社会学教授的教学。暑期学院提供密集的研讨会和项目，以提高教职员工对社会人口学的认识，特别强调非裔美国人。在本科课程任教的社会学和社会科学相关领域的教职员工将被选为参加暑期学院的人员。该研究所的主要目标是鼓励学员将人口统计方法和数据纳入本科课程。这将提高人口和人口研究课程的教学效果，并通过使用比较视角，重点放在非裔美国人上，在课程中引入多元文化框架。1992年夏季举办的早期讲习班，1993年夏季进行了为期两天的后续行动，在实现这一目标方面非常有效。
