Special note on videos and voice recordings
Please do not be shy if you would like to record a little video presentation or comments. We welcome between 2-4 minute recordings. These could be about your paper, to introduce yourself, to make a comment on a paper, or about the IUSSP Family Demography panel and cyberseminar initiative more generally. We would prefer if you could keep these video locally and send us a URL link for example, to You Tube or another video hosting site. If you would like to send us the recording, video files are large so could you send us an email first at intergen@soton.ac.uk and we can discuss how best to share the file.
