Susan S. Chuang
Details on Research Interests
Dr. Susan Chuang is an Associate Professor at the University of Guelph, Ontario. She received her baccalaureate in Criminology and Sociology at the University of Toronto. At the University of Rochester, New York, she received a Masters of Science in Elementary Education, and a Masters of Science and Doctorate in Human Development. She then received post-doctoral training at the National Institutes of Health, Maryland. Dr. Chuang lines of research include parenting, fathering, parent-child relationships, child and adolescent development, and school readiness in various sociocultural contexts (e.g., cross-cultural work on Chinese families in Canada, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan; Latinx families in Paraguay, US; Black families in Jamaica; Brazilian families). Her areas of expertise also focus on settlement and immigration issues. She also provides numerous community workshops for parents with children of various ages, as well as workshops for school-aged children (up to University). She also conducts volunteer workshops for service providers and teachers. The primary goal of the workshops is to bring greater attention to mental health issues and encouraging individuals to be mindful and critically reflective of themselves as they are of others. She is currently the Series Editor for Springer Science+Business Media on the Advances on Immigrant Families Research. She has edited two books for the series, Gender Roles in Immigrant Families (2013) (with Dr. Catherine Tamis-LeMonda, New York University, US) and Parental Roles and Relationships in Immigrant Families: An International Approach (with Dr. Catherine Costigan, University of Victoria, Canada). Edited and authored books in this series will be forthcoming over the next decade. She has organized six international conferences, On New Shores conferences, on immigrant families. These conferences included leading scholars from various disciplines as well as non-academic delegates (e.g., community and governmental agencies).
