Generation1.ca Founder and CEO Arundati Dandapani is honoured to be contributing once again to AAPOR’s 81st Annual Conference in May 2026 through both methodological innovation and thought leadership. Her contributions include presenting Census-Based Microdata and Synthetic Populations: Expanding Representation across the Americas; chairing Rethinking Global Citizenship and Research alongside WAPOR Liaison Chair Chase Harrison; and presenting The Nationality Paradox, drawn from her research and a chapter of her forthcoming book, within that broader global panel.
Other presenting authors on the global research panel features industry leading papers from Kathleen Frankovic, Udoh Roudatul Jannah (and collaborators), Colin Irwin (and collaborator), Daniel Montalvo (and collaborators), Yasushi Hazama (and collaborators). The session also helps inaugurate the first-of-its-kind AAPOR-WAPOR Global Research Affinity Group, designed to deepen collaboration between both professional societies in the public sphere and continue advancing the field with top practitioners at the helm. Together, these contributions push research toward a more inclusive, internationally aware, and conceptually future-facing world shaped by data innovation, cultural empathy, ethics and excellence. Learn more about this conference and register early by 23rd March to take advantage of early bird pricing.
