公視戲劇《你的孩子不是你的孩子》引起社會熱議，中產階級父母明明資源比上一輩豐厚，為什麼我們總擔心做得不對、不夠？

台灣大學社會系藍佩嘉教授用十年時間，訪談了居住在台灣和美國的中產及勞工階級的一百五十組華人家庭。從社會學角度分析其教養叙，以英文撰寫《養育全球家庭》（Raising Global Families）一書。這一本書在 2018年 7月由史丹佛大學出版社出版，定位是給美國大學課堂使用的學術類教科書。

藍佩嘉教授這兩國星期在南加州將會舉行多場免費演講，其中明天（星期六）下午的一場在洛杉磯僑二中心舉行的講座將以中文舉行，講解其研究內容，幫助減低華人父母在教育上的焦慮感。活動免費入場，有興趣的家長請踴躍參加！

In her book “Raising Global Families: Parenting, Immigration, and Class in Taiwan and the US”, Pei-Chia Lan examines how ethnic Chinese parents in Taiwan and the U.S. negotiate cultural differences and class inequality to raise children in the contexts of globalization and immigration. Lan’s cross-Pacific comparison demonstrates that class inequality permeates the fabric of family life, even as it takes shape in different ways across national contexts.

Pei-Chia Lan is Distinguished Professor of Sociology at National Taiwan University. She is the author of “Global Cinderellas: Migrant Domestics and Newly Rich Employers in Taiwan” (2006), which won the ASA Distinguished Book Award.

A reception will be held after the event.

This event is co-sponsored by the Chuan Lyu Endowed Chair in Taiwan Studies.
