Robyn Fivush, Ph.D., Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Psychology at Emory University, will present a lecture entitled "Family Stories and Adolescent Identity and Well-being." Dr. Fivush will examine narrative approaches to understanding self and well-being in adolescence, and examine the role of personal stories and intergenerational stories, stories about one's parents, and their parents before them, in helping adolescents to create a sense of self grounded in the past yet situated in the present that provides a core sense of well-being in the world.

Dr. Fivush's visit is co-sponsored by Group Disparities in Development (Human Development), Psychology, and the Bronfenbrenner Life Course Center.
