Between September 21 and December 6, 1997, I participated in the Program
of African Studies, Northwestern University.  My current research in
demography is on "High Fertility and Female Life Cycle." 

In general, my research interests are in the area of fertility especially,
the cultural aspects of fertility such as polygyny and child fostering,
etc.
