SUMMARY:History in Focus 2025: "Tradition\, Family\, and Conflict among  NYC's West African Communities" with Dr. Andrew Rasmussen
DESCRIPTION:Dyckman Farmhouse Museum presents \nHistory In Focus 2025:\nA Virtual Lecture Series on\nImmigrant History in Upper Manhattan!\n  \n“Tradition\, Family\, and Conflict among NYC’s West African\nCommunities” with Dr. Andrew Rasmussen\nMay 15th 2025\n12pm on Zoom\nFREE!\nREGISTER HERE!\nFor the first installment of Dyckman Farmhouse Museum’s History in Focus 2025\, we will be hearing from Dr. Andrew Rasmussen\, a Professor of Psychology and head of the Culture\, Migration\, and Community research group at Fordham University. \n\n\nDr. Rasmussen will present findings from three studies from two decades of research with various West African immigrant groups. \n\n\nFindings point to challenges often reported by new immigrants related to child-rearing and resolving spousal conflict. Parents’ concerns about children acting “American” are exacerbated by a fear of child protective services\, leaving parents feeling at a loss for how they can stay true to their cultures’ strict values concerning child rearing. Children\, who acculturate faster than their parents\, often appreciate close monitoring and even strict discipline by parents but also feel they are somewhat limited by it. Spousal conflict also appears to be related to more conservative cultural norms\, but is also related to the necessity of two-income households in the city. \nFindings from all three studies are integrated to build a model of social problem-solving in West African communities\, one that includes family members\, neighbors\, and community leaders\, and then also state actors (police and welfare officials). \n\n\nThis program is supported\, in part\, by\, the Honorable Carmen De La Rosa\, New York City Council\, District 10.
