Intergenerational Practices in Communities
Yixuan Huang is researching at the Social Policy Research Centre, University of New South Wales (UNSW). Her work primarily focuses on the intersection of Social policy, Urban sociology, and Community Studies, with a keen interest in intergenerational relationships, population ageing, and the culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) community. Her work is at the forefront of exploring how different generations within this community interact, share knowledge, and support each other. This research is crucial in understanding the cultural nuances that influence intergenerational relationships and how these can be harnessed to foster stronger community bonds and enhance the well-being of all generations. Her focus extends to examining the role of community planning and social policy in facilitating these intergenerational interactions.
