Alphabet of Demography is a podcast series created as an educational workshop within the Population History course (academic year 2023/2024) of the PISE undergraduate program at Ca' Foscari University, with the aim of making key demographic topics more accessible.
The podcasts, written and recorded by the students, analyze events (such as the Neolithic Revolution and epidemics), thinkers (like Robert Thomas Malthus, Ester Boserup, and Luigi Luca Cavalli Sforza), theories (such as mercantilism and neo-Malthusianism), tools (like the Venetian registers and Bills of Mortality), and concepts (such as density, life expectancy, and overpopulation), which over the millennia have defined and described the history of the human population.

14 NOV. 2024 · So far, we’ve analyzed periods “only” a few centuries distant from us: in this episode, Luna Aimeri takes us on a journey over 10,000 years back in time to discuss the demographic transformations of the Neolithic Revolution.
14 NOV. 2024 · How do we analyze public health from a demographic perspective, and what connects the two? Nadezda Tsarkova offers an answer to these questions.
14 NOV. 2024 · Luca Marino invites us to take a step back in time! We are in the midst of the Age of Discovery, and in the ports of the major Mediterranean cities, ships laden with goods from every corner of the known world abound: mercantilism reigns supreme. But what exactly is mercantilism? Let’s discover it together.
14 NOV. 2024 · With Isabela Alcantara Nunes, we talk about the theories of Thomas Robert Malthus, who argued that a mismatch between population growth and resource production leads to the spread of poverty, hunger, and inequality in the world, making birth control measures necessary.
14 NOV. 2024 · Life expectancy is a rather fascinating statistical measure: it aims to gauge the quality of life conditions in a given population by taking the average age of death within that population as a reference point. Juliette Renée and Marie-Claire Aze describe the method of calculation and the practical applications that life expectancy can have in policy.
14 NOV. 2024 · In this episode, Mariia Molodtsova discusses famines and their impact on the economy and development of societies throughout history, as well as explores possible strategies for eradicating them permanently.
14 NOV. 2024 · An epidemic is defined as the rapid transmission of an infectious disease within a community: the more people live in a community, the more easily a disease can spread, making the relationship between the impact of this phenomenon and population density directly proportional. Some demographers have theorized that epidemics are an example of an inevitable “crisis point” after a period of socioeconomic growth. Grace joins us to explore this topic.
