Family Socialization Around Race/Ethnicity and Racism: Advancing Understanding of Racial/Ethnic Inequalities in the U.S.
Penn State’s 30th Annual Symposium on Family Issues
Despite its significance for individuals, families and the larger society, research on family socialization on issues of race and racism remains limited. The goal of the 2022 Family Symposium is to draw scholars’ attention to the study of family socialization around racial/ethnic inequalities and racism in the U.S., with a focus on family programs, practices and policies to address this national challenge and its widespread implications. Toward stimulating interdisciplinary and translational research on families, the Family Symposium will examine the role of race and racism in the U.S., racial socialization in families of color, and antiracist socialization in white families. Registration is required. The Symposium on Family Issues is sponsored annually by The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (R13 HD048150).
