Lecture at The Japan Foundation, Toronto

An upcoming lecture at the Japan Foundation, Toronto on May 1 from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM will focus on Cross Cultural Socialization: Raising children in a bicultural environment, by Dr. Momo Kano Podolsky. This lecture will be of special relevance for parents raising children in Canada where one parent is Japanese. I have put a link and some information below.

Dr. Momo Kano Podolsky's talk will focus on families in which at least one of the parents is of Japanese heritage, although the content will likely be of relevance to any culturally diverse family. How do these families navigate the process of bicultural child rearing?

Some statistics and data from academic studies will be used to provide a background to the talk. Dr. Kano Podolsky will however present many anecdotes from her personal experience growing up as a kaigai-shijo (overseas child) and kikoku-shijo (returnee), as well as being married to a Canadian and raising two children (now adults) in a bicultural environment. Q&A to follow.
