ReSearching Diversity

In our first episode, we talk to Linda Juang who is a professor of Inclusive Education at the University of Potsdam (Germany). Our main topic is racial-ethnic socialization, meaning how parents communicate about race and ethnicity with their children. We learn about Linda's own upbringing, parenting, and path into higher education (PAST), an inspiring research article on understanding ethnic socialization processes in ethnically diverse families (PRESENT), and the potential of mentors for underrepresented students in higher education (FUTURE).
