Description

Professor Emeritus of Psychology John Berry is a pioneer in the field of acculturation psychology. He will address the questions of the variations in how immigrants acculturate; the variations in how well they adapt; and the relationships between ways of acculturating and levels of successful adaptation. If there are important relationships between how and how well, then it may be possible to outline a best practice for societies of settlement and their institutions (particularly educational and justice systems), and for immigrant cultural communities (including families and individuals) to adopt over the early years following their migration.
