The Fall 2018 CYFS Signature Event will be Tuesday, September 11, when the center welcomes Nancy Gonzales, foundation professor of psychology and dean of natural sciences in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University.
Gonzales’ presentation, “Culture, Context and Positive Adaptation of U.S. Latinx Youth,” will examine how contextual and cultural experiences provide unique challenges and opportunities for positive development. She will also discuss how culturally informed research can enhance interventions, policies, and practices to reduce educational inequalities and improve lives.
The event is from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Nebraska Union’s Regency Suite. It is open to the public and will include light refreshments.
The CYFS Signature Event series is designed to share research that advances learning and development at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Each Signature Event will feature a research presentation aimed at cross-disciplinary audiences.
