Immigrants
Master Lecture,

Margarita Azmitia, Emerging adults’ understanding of
their intersecting identities: Theoretical, developmental,
and methodological issues
Margarita Azmitia, an immigrant from Guatemala, is a
professor of developmental psychology at the University of
California at Santa Cruz and serves as the UCSC coordinator
of the UC Consortium on Adolescence Science and as a
member-at-large on the leadership of SRCD’s Latino Caucus.
Her mixed-methods, interdisciplinary research program
focuses on the role of close relationships, identity
intersectionalities (gender, sexuality, ethnicity/race, and
social class), and lived experiences of prejudice and
discrimination in adolescents and emerging adults’ school
transitions, academic and career trajectories, and
well-being.
Master Lecture, October 12, 2019,
3:00-4:15pm (Ontario)
Gail Ferguson, The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Of
Cultural Globalization For 21st Century Emerging Adults (And
What Developmental Science Can Do About It)
Dr. Gail M. Ferguson is currently a faculty member in the
Department of Human Development and Family Studies at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and will be
transitioning to the Institute of Child Development at the
University of Minnesota for Fall, 2019. Dr. Ferguson’s
research focuses on modern forms of cultural transmission
among adolescents and emerging adults facilitated by 21st
Century globalization (e.g., media, information and
communication technologies, consumer goods, and migration).
Among other interests, she has pioneered theory, research,
and intervention programming on “remote acculturation” a
modern form of acculturation among non-migrants exposed to
distant cultures via globalization (e.g., the
“Americanization” of youth in the Global South); and more
recently, “remote enculturation”, a modern form of
enculturation among youth living outside of the country of
their family’s heritage who connect to that culture
indirectly via globalization (e.g., 2nd generation immigrant
youth; international adoptees). A major aim of Dr.
Ferguson’s research is to identify and target risk and
protective factors in prevention programs that promote the
positive development of youth and families in and from the
globalizing Majority World (i.e., developing countries).
