Lunch seminar: Transmission of values between generations in the majority and minority population

Are values transmitted from one generation to the other, or do they change? For this lunch seminar, Rebecca Dyer Ånensen will present findings from her PhD-project, which is part of a larger study about the transition to adulthood.

Hovedinnhold

The study looks at family cases consisting of three generations and investigates and investigates the transmission of material and non-material values within families. Using cross-national life course design it takes a closer look at the ethnic majority in Norway and the UK. Ånensen’s project adds an immigrant perspective by investigating the meaning of intergenerational value transmission within three generation families with immigrant backgrounds (from Pakistan and Vietnam), and compare these with families from the majority population. A lunch will be served.
