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 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.

@ The Japan Foundation Toronto, 3^rd floor, 2 Bloor Street East, (The Hudson's Bay Building)
