In spring 2025 Henrik Schubert, Research Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and newly graduated PhD from the University of Oxford, spent two months at the United Nations Population Division (UN) in New York City, USA. Henrik had the opportunity to apply his academic knowledge to the practical science being undertaken at the UN by observing and participating in its political work and workflows. And he got to experience what it's like to live in New York City.
This MPIDR on Tour blog comes in two parts. Enjoy Henrik’s vibrant storytelling. A highly recommended read!
