Parent–Child Reminiscing and the Early Intergenerational Foundations of Identity Development

with:
Robyn Fivush,
Emory University
Tilmann Habermas,
International Psychoanalytic University Berlin
and
Elaine Reese,
University of Otago
Join our ISRI webinar to discuss how identity development is rooted in early intergenerational parent–child reminiscing.
This webinar will examine how early narrative interactions shape the emerging self, how these early conversations echo into adolescence through life story construction, and how parental scaffolding supports the development of narrative identity from childhood through adolescence.
Following short presentations from our speakers, we will have ample time for discussion and Q & A.

On Thursday, February 5th 2PM EST,  8PM Central European Time, 9PM Israel, [Friday, the 6th, 8AM in New Zealand]

The meeting will last for 75 minutes.

(Please double check your local time zone compared to 8PM Central European Time).
