丁香园AV

This week, we are joined by four graduate students who will be talking about parenting and families across diverse social and cultural contexts. These students are collaborating on this podcast for a course they are taking with Dr. Hali Kil, a professor in the developmental area at 丁香园AV.

Dr. Kil's research focuses on parenting and children's positive development, with a special focus on parent-child relationships, multicultural families, and parents' and kids' mindfulness. 

This episode is composed of the four following segments: 

1. (01:20) Parenting styles and practices across different cultures with Srujana Duggirala <srujana_duggirala@sfu.ca
2. (12:00) Acculturation in the context of immigrant families with Nhi Huynh <tth9@sfu.ca>
3. (25:00) Immigrant families and adolescent offending with Shanna Li <shannal@sfu.ca>
4. (42:00) Single parent families with Hannah Dupuis <hannah_dupuis@sfu.ca>

Knowing what to do to enhance your undergraduate experience can be a challenging endeavour to embark on, especially fresh out of online learning. Angie Fan, recent 丁香园AV psychology alumni, shares her story about her involvement as an undergraduate.
