About

I believe it is vital to prepare students to live and work in an aging society. Thus, I developed a service-learning course in which SSU students engaged in weekly dialogue groups with older adults. My background in social work lead me to emphasize the relevance and impact of social policies, such as access to health care, on people’s lives. My current research is on issues and dilemmas in parenting adult children. While there is extensive literature about parenting young children, there is very little about parenting adult children. I am keenly interested in how families navigate and negotiate roles through the uncharted territory that arises from increased longevity. My approach to research on families reflects my 12 years of experience with the UCLA Family Styles Project, a longitudinal study of 200 families, including single mothers by choice, unmarried couples, and communal families.
