How have families, marriage, and relationships been affected by COVID-19 in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world? What impact will this have on our individual and collective futures? And what OPPORTUNITIES might it present for students looking for a career to pursue, job seekers and job changers, business owners and entrepreneurs, and possibly investors, too.

In Part 2 of this two-episode Looking ForwardTM series, we'll discuss these topics with my guest expert, Dr. Bahira Trask. Dr. Trask is an expert on family trends. She is Professor and Chair of Human Development and Family Sciences at the University of Delaware. Dr. Trask holds a B.A. in Political Science with a concentration in International Relations from Yale University and a Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania. Her research focuses on globalization and family change in Western and non-Western countries, and she presents regularly on these topics at international forums including at the United Nations.  Dr. Trask has authored and edited a number of books including Women, Work, and Globalization: Challenges and Opportunities(Routledge, 2014), Globalization and Families: Accelerated Systemic Social Change, (Springer, 2010) and Cultural Diversity and Families (Sage, 2007).
