In Psychology Today, the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research examines family estrangement research conducted by Cornell sociologist Karl Pillemer. ..."Family estrangement is more common than most people realize, but it is possible to reconcile with estranged family members and rebuild these important relationships." Karl Pillemer is the Hazel E. Reed Professor of Human Development, director of the Cornell Institute for Translational Research on Aging, and professor of gerontology in medicine at the Weill Cornell Medical College. https://www.psychologytoday.com//2021/how-mend-family-rift

Register now for this symposium featuring BCTR director Tony Burrow! Many faculty seek to enhance their research by working in partnership with communities. Research-practice partnerships are rewarding, but can also be challenging. In this symposium you will hear from three faculty experts who have built strong and meaningful research-practice partnerships. They will share some of the key elements of successful partnerships, as well as what they wish they had known going into this work. Opening remarks will be provided by Adam Gamoran, President of the William T. Grant Foundation, which supports universities in building research-practice partnerships that reduce inequality in youth outcomes.
