Memory, Family Stories and Intergenerational Communication
"I will focus on the adaptability of aging survivors and how they incorporate their life experiences into an evolving sense of purpose in life. I explore the transmission of values and belief systems to the second generation, identifying their stories and themes. Intergenerational relationships and communication will be highlighted."
