GSS Conversation on Family Violence: A Focus on Grandparents

Please join us for breakfast, networking, and conversation on family violence, with a focus on grandparents.

Professor Amanda Holt is a criminologist and critical psychologist who will be a visiting professor at Fordham University from the University of Roehampton in the U.K. She has focused much of her research on the problem of child violence toward parents. Her most recent work extends to child and teen violence toward grandparents. She suggests the value of a life-course perspective on family violence.

Invited guests include practitioners and researchers in the elder justice, domestic violence, and grand parenting services communities. We hope to create a climate where we can share our different perspectives on supporting and protecting older caregivers/grandparents both within the NYC service community and globally between the U.S. and the U.K.

This event is sponsored by the Ravazzin Center on Aging and Intergenerational Studies.
