Live Seminar:
“Understanding and Working Within Diverse Contexts of Child Development: Connecting Research to Applications.”
Presented by Ioakim Boutakidis, Ph.D.
Dr. Boutakidis is an Associate Professor, having received his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of California, Riverside. His research has focused on cultural processes, such as ethnic identity and acculturation, and their associations to adolescent adjustment outcomes. More recently, his work has examined the role of engagement, motivation, and theory of mind in academic achievement outcomes for historically under-represented youth. His current work extends this line to college students, with a special focus on efforts to reduce achievement gaps, and he continues his on-going involvement in program assessment and High Impact Practices within the university. Dr. Boutakidis is currently serving as Associate Professor of Child & Adolescent Studies and Associate Dean of Student Success in the College of Health and Human Development at California State University, Fullerton.
Dr. Boutakidis will examine content around the following areas of developmental science:
1) Socio-Cultural variations in child development, with review of “typical” development from middle childhood through adolescence as needed.
2) How cultural and socioeconomic moderators affecting parenting styles, and the commensurate effects on child and adolescent outcomes.
3) The intersectionality of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and family structure interact and how they can be confounded in aggregated indicators.
4) What child development research tells us are the most effective points of clinical and social service intervention.
5) The impact of staff service orientation on agency effectiveness.
The workshop will include themed break-out sessions, group work, and multiple Q&A periods
